Nanomaterials at Work: Controlling Exposure

Wishlist Share

About Course

Manufactured nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes, are used in research, manufacturing and advanced materials. Because their hazards are not fully understood, HSE guidance (HSG272) takes a precautionary approach. This course explains what nanomaterials are, why some are of particular concern, and the COSHH controls HSE expects.
