Analyze risk at the workstation
Nanoparticle risk assessment using the "Banding" control method

In steps 2 and 3, we assessed an OHB level, which characterizes the substance's level of hazard, based on current knowledge. We also defined an Exposure Index (EI), which characterizes the level of workplace exposure to the nanoparticulate substance.

As a final step, the combination of IE and OHB leads to a risk index (IR): IR = OHB - IE

It is used to situate the level of risk in an MMR matrix (cf. MMR matrix in the Workstation Assessment Tool (Tool 1 )), and to conclude on a level...
