Dutch Ministry Issues Nanotech Safety Guidance for Workplaces

The Dutch Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment has issued guidance for
employers and employees working with nanomaterials and nanoproducts.
The guidance provides information about designing suitable control
measures to limit exposures according to the current state of knowledge
about nanomaterial safety. It also recommends ways of instructing employees
about good work practices, potential risks and risk management measures
when new nanomaterials are introduced into the workplace. See Nanowerk,
