Earn 3.5 Contact hours

This online self-study course is intended for IH's who are responsible for the health and safety of workers exposed to nanomaterials. Adapted from a popular PDC, it contains 3.5 hours of instructional video and related activities.

This course will provide a disciplined process for the responsible management of nanomaterials, which includes:
    • anticipating where nanomaterials may be in the workplace,
    • recognizing the potential for occupational exposures,
    • evaluation of the exposures using a variety of sampling equipment,
    • control based on prevention through design and control banding tools, and
    • confirmation and continual reevaluation of the risk management plan.

Participants will be guided through an example of creating a sampling plan, evaluating data, and control recommendation. Using nanomaterial exposure scenarios, participants will create a sampling plan, analyze provided data, and decide if engineering controls should be added to the risk management plan. Participants will be provided information to understand how to apply hazard and control banding for a nanomaterial.
