The nanomaterials safety standard sets out the University's arrangements for identifying, assessing and managing the general risks associated with working with nanomaterials. The standard also sets out roles and responsibilities of people responsible for managing or working with these substances.

The generic risk assessment template can be used to identify potential hazards and the means for managing associated risks. Departments are responsible for amending the template as necessary to fit the context of the work with nanomaterials that is done under their control.

These documents were reviewed and agreed by UHSC in June 2023. The next scheduled review is June 2026.
