控制带技术在纳米产业职业危害管理中的应用
Application of control banding to occupational hazard management in nanotechnology industry
-
摘要:
纳米产业存在的潜在职业接触风险与健康危害问题给职业卫生安全防范工作提出了新的挑战。尽管纳米产业中的不同作业岗位存在着不同程度的暴露风险，但职业性接触所致的潜在健康危害和职业接触限值尚处于研究过程。因而，应当依据现有风险管理决策对纳米产业加以职业危害风险管理。其中，控制带技术在应对不确定性风险方面有着相对优势，且在全球职业卫生领域中有着近20年的发展历程，是一类针对作业场所有毒有害物质进行定性和（或）半定量风险评价和管理的策略手段。纳米产业职业危害风险管理控制带技术的探索与发展不仅可为职业卫生管理提供依据，还可指导职业健康监护工作。
Abstract: The potential exposure risks and health hazard issues in nanotechnology industry pose a new challenge to occupational health and safety. In nanotechnology industry, different work sites might have varied exposure risks, but the adverse health effects due to occupational exposure and relevant occupational exposure limits remain being investigated. Accordingly, state-of-art risk management strategy should be implemented in nanotechnology. Among them, control banding has merit in dealing with uncertainty, has progressed for almost 20 years in global occupational hygiene, and is a quantitative and/or semi-quantitative risk assessment and management strategy for occupational hazards. The discovery and development of nanotechnology-oriented control banding may not only provide scientific evidence for occupational hygiene, but also instruct occupational health surveillance.
