National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
announced a request
for information (RFI). The Superfund Research Program is seeking input on
the design and need for potential occupational safety and hazardous substance
training programs in emerging technologies. Emerging technologies may include those
related to nanotechnology, remediation and exposure science. The RFI aims to
gather information on critical gaps, challenges and potential strategies to
address the needs for training in occupational exposure and hazards related to
emerging technologies and how to best train and protect workers from these
hazards through continuing education, short courses and advanced training. Responses
are requested by March 31, 2012.
