Survey Examines Nanotechnology and Emerging Health and Safety Issues

RMIT University has been commissioned by the Office of the Australian Safety and Compensation Council (ASCC) to examine options for substitution/modification of engineered nanomaterials, to reduce the potential hazards associated with handling the materials in the workplace.

The project is part of the Nanotechnology OHS Program, in support of the National Nanotechnology Strategy.

This survey will provide RMIT University with information on the substitution/modification approaches that Australian nanotechnology organisations use. It will also inform about health and safety considerations when purchasing and manufacturing nanomaterials. The project also involves a literature review of nanomaterials modifications, to determine how hazard properties change as a result of modifying the materials.
