Nanotechnology Products in 2010:
What You Need to Know Now About Warning, Labeling, and Instructions

Nano-engineered materials are a diverse class of extremely small-scale materials formed by engineering at the molecular level. Recent toxicological studies have suggested that exposure to certain nanomaterials may cause harmful effects to humans and the environment. There has been much debate on the reliability and validity of these studies, and their relevance to actual exposures. Although such studies are on-going, uncertainty will remain regarding the ultimate safety of many types of nanomaterials and their applications for some time.

Using knowledge and experience in the latest in nanotechnology toxicology studies as well as previous study in related topic areas, and the applicable products liability and workplace safety laws and regulations, we have assembled a panel of experienced professionals who will address:

• The existing uncertainties concerning nanomaterial product safety
• The timeliness, use, development, and content of product warnings versus workplace warnings / instructions / labels in the nanotechnology industry
• The ability of manufacturers, importers, distributors and others to educate and inform both consumers and employees on product and personal safety in connection with product manufacturing, product use and disposal, with such warnings and labeling.

This webinar will be of interest to: manufacturers, importers, distributors, sellers, product designers, plant managers, safety and risk managers, quality managers, insurers, underwriters, labor unions, government officials, government regulators and the consuming public, and will address the timeliness, import, efficacy, use, and content of product warnings / instructions / labels in the nanotechnology industry.
