Document Title:Standard Guide for Nanotechnology Workforce Education in Health and Safety
url:
Scope:This guide provides guidelines for basic workforce education in health and safety topics related to nanotechnology, to be taught at an undergraduate college level. This education should be broad to prepare an individual to work safely within one of the many areas in nanotechnology research, development, or manufacturing.
Keywords:education; health; nanomaterial; nanoparticle; nanotechnology; safety
Type of Document:a. Standard
Issues Areas:Health, Safety, and Environment
Primary Category:
Additional Categorieseducation and workforce training
Goal or Need:Because nanotechnology is a rapidly developing field, the individual educated in nanotechnology needs to be cognizant of changing and evolving safety procedures and practices. This guide provides a basic educational structure in the health and safety aspects of nanotechnology to organizations developing or carrying out education programs for the nanotechnology workforce. The basic education should prepare an individual for varied roles in the nanotechnology workplace. The material in this guide may require a post-secondary two-year science or technology background to be understood sufficiently.
Intended Stakeholders:Students and workers in nanotechnology; educators in nanotechnology; employers in nanotechnology-related research, development, and manufacturing.
