Nanotechnology Research Laboratory Safety Checklist [FREE PDF]
This nanotechnology laboratory safety checklist addresses engineered nanomaterial exposure controls per NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 63 and ISO TC 229 nanotechnology standards. Lab managers and safety officers use this for labs synthesizing or handling engineered nanomaterials, where conventional ventilation and PPE may be inadequate.
- Industry: Laboratory
- Frequency: Quarterly
- Estimated Time: 20-30 minutes
- Role: Lab Safety Officer / Chemical Hygiene Officer
- Total Items: 8
- Compliance: NIOSH CIB 63 (Occupational Exposure to Engineered Nanomaterials), ISO TC 229 (nanotechnologies - safety), OSHA nano safety guidelines (2012), AIHA nano safety guidance
Exposure Controls
Verify engineering controls for nanomaterial exposures.
- Enclosed systems or gloveboxes used for high-hazard nano operations?
- Local exhaust ventilation (fume hood, LEV) used for nano synthesis?
- HEPA filtration on all vacuum cleaners and air filtration units used in nano areas?
- Wet methods used when dry nanomaterials are handled?
PPE & Exposure Monitoring
Verify PPE adequacy and exposure monitoring.
- N95 or higher respirator used when engineering controls are not sufficient?
- PPE including nitrile gloves, lab coat, and eye protection used for all nano handling?
- Exposure monitoring conducted or hazard assessment documented?
- Nano safety notes
