University College Dublin Nanomaterial Risk Assessment Template UCD SIRC Office Rev 0. December 2016 Page 1 of 10 This risk assessment template should be used when risk assessing the use of nanomaterials / nanoparticles in UCD laboratories. It can also be used to assess the risks from non-nano chemicals in use during any process involving nanomaterials. Persons completing this assessment should refer to the UCD Chemical Safety Manual and must review the relevant SDS for all chemicals concerned 1. General Information Name of Person(s) involved in the Process and their Position Principal Investigator / Supervisor (Person responsible for ensuring safety) Date of Assessment Location of Works Frequency of Process Nanomaterial in use Other chemical agents in use 2. Title and Details of the Process Involving the use of Hazardous Agents –give details of the process(es) in question - if necessary attach a written procedure. Title of Process: Details: (clearly state how the nanomaterials and other chemicals will be used and consider the whole lifecycle of the material from delivery / development to disposal) 3. Potential Experimental / Reaction Outcomes (give details where applicable) Exothermic: Explosive: Release of gas / vapours: Pressurisation: Generation of unstable compounds: Effects on normal atmospheric conditions: Other: __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________
