Prevention Through Design: Safe Nano Design Workshop

Workshop/Training
Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - 1:00am to Wednesday, August 15, 2012 - 1:00am

Safe Nano Design Workshop
Molecule • Manufacturing • Market

Date: August 14–16, 2012
Location: College of Nanoscale Science & Engineering of the University at Albany, Albany, NY

Event Purpose

Participants at this workshop will provide input into the safe commercialization of nano products using a Prevention-through-Design approach. Participants will share their knowledge on the efforts to develop safer nano molecules that have the same functionality; process containment and control, based on the considerations of risk of exposure to workers; and the management system approaches for including occupational safety and health into the nanoparticle synthetic process, product development, and product manufacture.

The registration deadline is July 13, 2012.
