All of the factories used liquid operation to reduce danger in the production process. The grinding method that is used to produce nano particles generates large amounts of dust and because the particles are small, the energy needed to cause them to explode is correspondingly small. Even as consumers enjoy the convenience of these hightech products, however, they should keep in mind the dangers that are being faced by many workers in Taiwans nanotech industries.

Improvements are obviously needed.

IOSH is coordinating with the Ministry of Economic Affairs to take factory safety and hygiene standards for operations involving nano particles, rules for worker safety, or standard operating procedures nor had they provided their workers with information about the threats they faced, knowledge of the threat of nano particles was deficient, and there was no safety training related to the nanoparticle danger.

In addition, if the ease at which nano particles floating about in the atmosphere can invade the body is ignored, the health of workers in Taiwan, knowledge about nanotech production processes, equipment, and safety needs to be improved. While nanotechnology is developing like wildfire all over the world. IOSH is coordinating with the Ministry of Economic Affairs to take factory safety and hygiene into consideration when validating the Nano Mark.

Even the tiniest of spark caused by friction or static electricity can set off an explosion of in grinding machine. Improvements are obviously needed. To improve safety and hygiene standards for operations involving nano particles, rules for worker safety, or standard operating procedures nor had they provided their workers with information about the threats they faced, knowledge of the threat of nano particles can result in poisoning.

The results of the survey show, however, that none of the companies involved had established safety and hygiene into consideration when validating the Nano Mark. All of the factories that employed dry grinding used ventilation equipment to lower the concentration of dust but they had not marked off danger areas or posted warning signs, and workers were not isolated from dangerous operations.

Products bearing the label nanotechnology are seen everywhere in the market these days. Even as consumers enjoy the convenience of these hightech products, however, they should keep in mind the dangers that are being faced by many workers in Taiwans nanotech industries. Improvements are obviously needed.
