Title:	SAFETY AND HEALTH PROTECTION PLAN FOR CARBON NANOFIBER PRODUCTION
Author:	DARWISH, AMINA M
Description:	Precautionary measures should be employed to ensure the health and safety of workers in plants that carry carbon nanofibers. The objective of this paper is to develop a low cost plan to protect the workers in such plants. Collection methods include walkthroughs, company patents and interviews. A preliminary hazard analysis was conducted. Hazards were controlled by administrative controls, personal protective equipment, and other low cost measures. The hazards observed include various forms of carbon nanofibers, raw materials, and carcinogenic intermediate compounds. Proposed control methods include, but are not limited to procedure definition, training, and respirators. Companies should be proactive in addressing the health of their workers. Health and safety plans should be strictly enforced. While the scientific community continues to debate the health effects, companies should take precautionary measures to protect their workers. This paper provides a feasible health and safety plan for an emerging industry.
