This Recommended
Practice (RP), IEST-RP-NANO205.1: Nanotechnology Safety: Application of
Prevention through Design Principles to Nanotechnology Facilities, provides facility design information intended to minimize risks
for personnel associated with nanotechnology research and production. Using
NIOSH “Prevention through Design” principles, the RP addresses safety issues
related to incoming materials, products, processes, and byproducts. Methods of
risk mitigation are suggested. Facility design and response systems are
described for normal operation as well as external and internal emergency.
Information is provided to assist in the development of an effective
nanotechnology environmental health and safety program. This document is useful
to all those involved in facilities that develop or use nanomaterials.
