Identification of nanomaterials in the Centre – Val de Loire

.

.

Preventionists in the Centre-Val de Loire region are publishing the results of a study conducted in 2019/2020 to identify endocrine disruptors (EDs) and nanomaterials in the workplace as part of the 3rd regional occupational health plan (PST3). This inventory is made available to the public to better prevent and track exposure to these emerging risks.

In the sample studied, 55% of the companies use one of the targeted substances (ED, NANO – confirmed or potential) or both. In the link above, you can find information on the presence of these substances in your company.

Controlling the risks associated with nanomaterials (CEA, Online)
On line
Training
  • E-learning program: awareness-raising for personnel who come into contact with nanomaterials during research, formulation, production, maintenance, cleaning, upkeep, etc., as well as safety coordinators or engineers, facility managers, heads of laboratories where nanoparticles are handled.
  • Organizers: INSTN Grenoble (CEA)
  • On the program:
    • 1 – Introduction, definition and characteristics of nanomaterials
    • 2 – Toxicity of nanomaterials: the state of knowledge
    • 3 – Metrology and characterization of nanomaterials
    • 4 – Prevention and protection against nanomaterials in the workplace
    • 5 – Quiz: assessment of learning outcomes
  • The 2-hour course can be viewed for one month from the date of registration.
