Factsheet for companies working with nanomaterials
Danish
Description
The four-page factsheet provides concise information on what companies that use nanomaterials need to consider. In summary, the factsheet recommends that you:
- ask your supplier for information about the nanomaterials that are found in the substances and materials you are supplied with;
- use information in safety data sheets and technical data sheets to potentially enhance your preventive work with nanomaterials;
- ensure that you have the necessary knowledge and use it when preparing the statutory chemical workplace assessment (risk assessment);
- request the materials and delivery methods that present the least risk of exposure, e.g. low-dust nanomaterials.
