Nanomaterials: Understanding risks and improving protection

Summary:

Nanomaterials offer exciting opportunities for innovation across a wide range of industries. However, the lack of up-to-date hazard information often makes it challenging for organisations to accurately assess and control exposure risks.

This webinar will explore the latest research into the hazards associated with nanomaterials, helping you separate fact from misconception and make better-informed decisions. You’ll receive practical advice to enhance your COSHH risk assessments, strengthen your control measures, and protect your workforce while ensuring compliance with UK health and safety legislation.

Key topics include:

• The latest data on the hazardous properties of various nanomaterials

• Why different nanomaterials carry different levels of risk

• How the type and use of nanomaterials can significantly affect hazard potential

• Interpreting new research findings and applying them to your safety protocols

• Practical steps to improve your risk assessments and control strategies

• Protecting workers from potential exposures and preventing work-related ill health

• Ensuring compliance with UK regulations and demonstrating due diligence

By the end of the session, you’ll feel more confident in managing nanomaterial risks and safeguarding your employees’ health and wellbeing.
