Safe production and processing of nanomaterials<\/strong><\/p>\n

(St. Gallen \/ Heidelberg). <\/em>The new \u201eNanorama Production\u201c (http:\/\/nano.dguv.de\/nanorama\/bgrci2\/en\/<\/a>) is the fifth interactive e-learning tool of the platform \u201eSafe handling of nanomaterials\u201c (http:\/\/nano.dguv.de<\/a>). It is an interactive self-learning and training tool on the safe production and processing of nanomaterials and enables employees to recognise tasks involving the handling of nanomaterials, to roughly estimate potential exposure, and to know the corresponding protective measures. The \u201eNanorama Production\u201c was developed on behalf of the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the raw materials and chemical industry (BG RCI). The photo shooting took place at the facilities of the company Nanogate AG in Quierschied-G\u00f6ttelborn (Germany).<\/p>\n

The \u201eNanorama Production\u201c offers insights into six different work environments: 1. Production, 2. Dispersion of solid nanomaterial, 3. Production of suspensions using basket mills, 4. Processing of dispersions, 5. Storage, and 6. Analysis in the laboratory. It further deals with topics such as safe cleaning, aerosol measurements, explosion protection or industrial hygiene.<\/p>\n

The realistic images of the panorama allow employees to immediately recognise tasks they regularly perform. By discovering the \u201cNanorama\u201d, employees receive valuable information on nanomaterial health and safety aspects on-the-fly. The tool was designed for employees but may also be employed in education by HSE experts.<\/p>\n

Nano-Platform \u201eSafe Handling of Nanomaterials\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nano-Platform \u201eSafe Handling of Nanomaterials\u201c of the DGUV is publicly available and offers up-to-date information, downloads and latest news on health and safety of nanomaterials. A total of five \u201cNanoramas\u201d are now available on the platform. \u201cNanoramas\u201d \u2013 a lexical blend of \u201cNano\u201d and \u201cPanorama\u201d, \u2013 are novel, innovative 360\u00b0-E-learning modules in which the user enters a virtual space and moves around in it. By completing a \u201cNanorama\u201d, users acquire knowledge in an entertaining manner. The \u201eNanoramas\u201c \u00a0available on the platform include: \u201eNanorama Construction\u201c (handling and uses of nanomaterials in the construction industry), \u201eNanorama Laboratory\u201c (safe handling of nanomaterials in laboratories), \u201eNanorama Car Workshop\u201c (nanomaterials in the automotive sector) as well as the \u201eNanorama Textile\u201c (insight into six different work environments in textile processing). The \u201eNanorama Laboratory\u201c is available in English, too.<\/p>\n
