ABSTRACT

The purpose of this document is to provide a quick start guide to structure the approach to be taken by health and safety professionals when they wish to manage the occupational health and safety risks of manufactured Nano-Objects and their Aggregates and Agglomerates greater than 100 nm (NOAA). All routes of exposure are taken into account: inhalation, dermal or ingestion. The objective is to help the reader to build a first approach in terms of identification, risk assessment, risk mitigation and control methodology. References to relevant documents and tools are provided.
