Manufactured nanomaterials can bring huge benefits to society but there are concerns about the associated health and environmental hazards. This literature review shows that there are also serious gaps in the awareness of the potential risks involved in handling manufactured nanomaterials in the workplace, and serious shortcomings in the way in which any risks are communicated to the workplace.

The purpose of this guidance is to introduce occupational safety and health specialists to the carcinogenic or oncological risk factors commonly found in the working environment, including the most common malignancies that can be caused by these factors and the sectors and jobs in which these factors are common.

This leaflet gives 10 practical pieces of advice on the safe use of pesticides: consulting with an expert, reading the labels, wearing appropriate protection, not eating/drinking/smoking while using pesticides, preparing, spraying, cleaning, hand washing, waste disposal and storage.

The guidance provides information for occupational safety and health experts on how the chemicals registration procedure and the chemical labelling system in the EU have changed and the effect of these changes on working with chemicals. It gives details of the registration procedures and provides a complete overview of the new labelling system.
