Abstract

Nanotoxicology research demonstrated that some manufactured nanomaterials have toxic effects on human health and environment. For the worker exposed in nanolaboratories, nanomaterials present potential risks. Given the inadequate technologies for testing nanotoxicology, strengthening the safety culture and improving nanotechnology workers’ safety awareness are very important. Based on the empirical investigation, this paper explores firstly the current safety status in the nano-research laboratory from three dimensions: material culture,institution culture and awareness culture. Secondly, the paper puts forward some corresponding measures and suggestions. Lastly, the paper concludes that the construction of safety culture is not only vital for the health of nanotechnology researchers and the environment, but also important for the sustainable development of nanotechnology.
