Essential features for proactive risk management

Vladimir Murashov et al. Nat Nanotechnol. 2009 Aug.

Abstract

We propose a proactive approach to the management of occupational health risks in emerging technologies based on six features: qualitative risk assessment; the ability to adapt strategies and refine requirements; an appropriate level of precaution; global applicability; the ability to elicit voluntary cooperation by companies; and stakeholder involvement.
