Update of the progress on nanotechnology issues in HSE/HSL is now available to view. This report is in response to a requested by the Health Sciences Information Group (HSIG) in February 2006.
HSE’s Corporate Science & Analytical Services Directorate (CoSAS) has oversight of science within HSE and has responsibility for taking forward science issues that cut across industry sectors. In discharging this function we have identified, and reported to the HSC (April 2004, HSC/04/42), that nanotechnology could have a substantial impact on health and safety in the workplace.
