The website provides answers to some frequently asked questions about first aid measure, such as on the length of rinsing with water, when to induce vomiting, if dilution of ingested chemicals with water is advisable etc. The FAQ can also be downloaded as pdf.

The Canadian database provides so called safety data sheets on human pathogens. Each safety data sheet informs about the hazardous properties of a human pathogen and provides recommendations for work involving these agents in a laboratory setting. They include first aid measures and medical information, exposure controls, guidance on storage as well as regulatory informtion. 

The website presents work of the US Nanotechnology Research Center on Nanomaterials and how workers can be protected from them. It gives access to a database of nano-enabled products which are used in industrial applications, three documents describing engineering controls when nanomaterials are handled at the workplace and two background documents on best practices and handling strategies for nanomaterials at the workplace. 

This guidance for employers sets out what needs to be done to address first-aid provision in the workplace. It provides guidance on: managing the provision of first aid (first-aid kit, equipment, rooms etc); requirements and training for first-aiders; requirements for appointed persons; making employees aware of first-aid arrangements; first aid and the self-employed; cases where first-aid regulations do not apply.

The website is established by an EU-wide initiative aimed at preventing workplace exposure to carcinogens. It contains easy-to-understand information on the hazards of 30 carcinogens and in which professions they are likely to occur. In addition, guidance and tools are provided to support exposure prevention and minimisation of effects on the workforce. On the starting page, new publications are announced and links provided.

The ‘Guideline for risk assessment and for the instruction of workers regarding activities with biological agents’ introduces a convention on sensitising and toxic hazards that follows a control-banding approach. It is based on an exposure matrix that links information on assumed/estimated exposure levels (without measuring) to the estimated risk that must be controlled. Exposure matrices for moulds and endotoxins in different occupations are also available,

The technical rules set out the requirements and procedures for assessing risks from respiratory sensitisers at workplaces and the selection of prevention measures. This includes sensitisers originating from moulds (for example Aspergillus spp.). The document holds an overview list of sensitising biological agents.

The technical rules provide information about the classification of parasites into risk groups equivalent to the Biological Agents Directive. They also provide information on potential sensitising properties of parasites.
