The website gives an overview of what nanoparticles are and why they can be harmful for health. It provides links to further information and Danish legal provisions for handling nanomaterials at workplaces. 

KomNet's slogan is 'Well advised. Healthy work'. Employers, workers, executives, members of works councils and private persons may search an extensive database of questions and answers in the field of safe handling of chemicals. If a topic is not covered, they may ask the KomNet experts who answer questions on various topics related to health and safety at work — free of charge.

 This AT-guide is based on:
• safety and health legislation rules on substances and materials
• Indicative guidance on how to prevent or limit the risk of exposure to hazardous substances and materials;

This guide is about:
• Any work on substances and materials, including manufacturing, use and handling
• Any risk of exposure at the workplace to substances and materials
• Other work likely to endanger health and safety by reason of its nature or the context in which it takes place.

The guide provides recommendations for the assessment of workplace risks from handling nanomaterials. It takes into account the latest findings on measurement methods and strategies, and provides a risk assessment procedure. The recommendations are based on the basic principles of occupational health and safety in the sense of the Responsible Care Initiative of the chemical industry. The aim of the recommendations is to support companies.

On this website, the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Germany (BAuA) provides links to information, guidance and training materials about working with nanomaterials on its own internet site as well as on external websites. The external links apply to the EU, other Member States  (Denmark, the Netherlands, France, the UK, Austria and Sweden) and Switzerland, as well as to international providers (Canada, Australia, Colombia and the USA) and international organisations. Examples of how to handle nanomaterials can be found on the website.

This model Code of Practice has been developed to provide practical guidance for persons conducting a business or undertaking on how to manage risks associated with asbestos and asbestos-containing materials  (ACM) at the workplace and thereby minimise the incidence of asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer. The guidance explains the legal requirements and practical steps for risk assessment and risk management.

This report provides a review of the understanding of the toxicology and health hazards associated with engineered nanomaterials, as well as of the implications regarding the health hazards in occupational settings, such as during drug manufacture, handling and use, as of the year 2009.

The NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards (NPG) informs workers, employers, and occupational health professionals about workplace chemicals and their hazards. It gives general industrial hygiene information and presents key data for chemicals or substance groups (such as cyanides, fluorides, manganese compounds) that are found in workplaces.

Workers who use nanotechnology in research or production processes may be exposed to nanomaterials through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. This fact sheet provides basic information to workers and employers on the most current understanding of potential hazards associated with this rapidly-developing technology and highlights measures to control exposure to nanomaterials in the workplace.

This Code provides practical guidance on how to manage the health and safety risks associated with hazardous chemicals for persons conducting a business or undertaking who use chemicals in their workplace. It includes sections on the hazard identification, risk assessment and control of risks, monitoring measures, and emergency preparedness. The Annexes provide background information.
