| Abstract | This article considers 12 characteristics of the U.S. occupational safety regulatory framework identified by Choi and Ramachandran in the context of emerging nanotechnologies, and the author suggests that, as the number of new materials entering the workplace continues to increase, OSHA will need to develop flexible approaches to identifying and reducing potential risks. If the potential for engineered nanomaterials to cause harm is to be understood and managed, the agency will need to look at new approaches to generating, sharing, and using information. |
