Several actions concerning nanomaterials are listed in the Assessment of the 3rd Occupational Health Plan 2016-2020:
- the classification of titanium dioxide as a category 2 carcinogen by inhalation
- the initiatives of the network of preventionists in the New Aquitaine region (investigations, meeting and exchange days)
- a kit to help identify the nano risk and a webinar produced by the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes regional nano working group (Direccte, Carsat, occupational health services, with the participation of CEA and CFDT)
- Nano newsletters produced by the nano group in the Bourgogne Franche-Comté region (volunteer occupational health services, OPPBTP, Direccte)
- the study and monitoring of exposure to nanomaterials in connection with the National Health and Environment Plan 4 (PNSE 4), including better use of the R-Nano database

Paris
Training
- Training for nanomaterial handlers (technicians, engineers, PhD students, researchers, etc.) and prevention assistants
- Organizers: CNRS
- Objectives: learn about the risks involved in handling nanomaterials and the prevention and protection measures to be implemented, as well as best practices for limiting exposure.
- Topics covered:
- Health effects / Risk assessment
- Preventive measures / Good laboratory practice / Time and space management / Collective and individual protection / Cleaning methods for surfaces, materials and equipment / Product storage / Product management
- Hands-on workshops:
- Implementing best practices when handling nanometric powders / Case studies / Assessment & recommendations
