The context …
Innovative strategies, methods and tools for occupational risks
management of manufactured nanomaterials in the construction industry
European FIEC survey
Large part (10%) of the European economy
Large part (30%) of the industrial employment
Large number (~3 millions) of enterprises
 95% of enterprises are SMEs
Nano at Workplace
ENM in Construction : cement,
concrete product, coating, roadpavement, flame retardant material
or textile … A fast increasing market
But >75% of Employees &
Employers are not aware of safety
at workplace involving MNs

Innovative strategies, methods and tools for occupational risks
management of manufactured nanomaterials in the construction industry
Industry needs
Companies and workers are using and handling
MNMs and nano- enabled products in construction
Exposures are produced at different stages of the
construction industry life cycle
 “Legal uncertainty” (89/391/EEC, 98/24/EC)
 I have to protect workers but I don’t know how to do it …
 A Proactive approach is necessary, based on:
 Prevention of risks
 Assessment of risks
 Specific protection and prevention measures
 Arrangements to deal with accidents, incidents and emergencies
 Information and training for workers
 Occupational exposure limit values
 Consultation and participation of workers
 Health surveillance

An Integrated response
Develop, test, validate in real
conditions and disseminate, a new
holistic, consistent and cost effective
Risk Management Model (RMM) to
manage occupational exposure to
MNMs in construction.

Significant results
1. Safer nano-enabled products for construction: dispersions; optimized formulations for
fire-retardant panels; concretes, bituminous pavements, coatings, insulations  minimize
MNs emissions, reduce the amount of MNs …
2. Strategies and methods:

Roadmap for construction

Assessment of 22 specific exposure scenarios at lab and pilot scales (Database),
involving on-line equipment (portable + advanced), personal samplers, chemical-SEMEDX .. analysis of samples, …(5 on-going industrial scale studies)

General quantitative (CB ISO 12901-2) and qualitative approaches for Risk
Assessment, including specific procedures, strategies and methods for measuring
exposures ( TiO2, SiO2, CNF, CeNF and nanoclays)

Proposals for OELs, models, etc

Evaluation of the efficiency of collective protections (LEV, glove-box, ..) and
Personal Protective Equipment (suits, respirators, gloves)

New device for trapping nanoparticles

consideration shall be given to reducing the risks according to the following
hierarchy:
a) …
4.3.1.6 Determining the need for controls (SCAFFOLD)
The efficiency of the clothes against
the diffusion depended on the nature
and physical form (aerosol or liquid) of
the NPs and the nature of the clothes,
…
The observation of PPEs involved in
real scenarios at industrial partners’
workplace showed that the actual
gloves, masks and Tyvek clothes …
