NEW! Gain an understanding of nanotechnology to help identify and safely control sources and products containing nanomaterials in your workplace.
This updated e-course features an improved look and functionality to enrich your learning experience.
Nanotechnology is a broad name given to a wide range of technologies and materials that create, manipulate, or use particles of an extremely small size - roughly between 1 and 100 nanometres (nm). A nanometre is 1 billionth of a metre.
These nanomaterials can be both naturally occurring and man-made, and workers can be exposed during manufacturing (handling powders, performing maintenance, machining, sanding) and by use of many consumer products (such as computer screen coatings, sunscreen, and cosmetics).
This awareness course discusses nanomaterials that may be found in Canadian workplaces, the potential health hazards they present, and how workers can be protected.
Average time to complete this course is approximately 30 minutes.
