Efficient management of nanomaterial hazards in a large number of research laboratories in an academic environment

Thierry Meyer, Amela Groso, Anna Maria Novello, Elina Buitrago

As the number of engineered nanomaterials (ENM) used in research increases with an incredible speed, health and safety specialists are continuously faced with the challenge of evaluating the risks involved with these materials. Nowadays there is not enough ...

Expert Judgements in Risk Analysis: a Strategy to Overcome Uncertainities

Thierry Meyer, Amela Groso, David Nicolas Plüss

There is a need for a risk analysis technique specific for academic research laboratories. Since accurate accident data, normally required for quantitative risk analysis, are not available for this environment, expert judgements are often used to describe ...

Risk analysis in research environment

Thierry Meyer, Amela Groso, Aristide Ramondgwendé Ouédraogo

Available risk analysis techniques are well adapted to industry since they were developed for its purpose. All hazards met in industry are also present in research/academia (although quantities of some hazardous substances are smaller). Still, because of i ...
