Safe Work Australia 

Safe Work Australia is implementing the Nanotechnology Work Health and Safety Program, which supports the National Enabling Technologies Strategy. The Program focuses on:

  • Ensuring nanotechnology is covered appropriately within the Work Health and Safety Regulatory Framework
  • Improving understanding of the hazardous properties of engineered nanomaterials
  • Assessing the effectiveness of workplace controls in preventing exposure to engineered nanomaterials
  • Developing procedures for detecting and measuring emissions exposure in workplaces
  • Providing information and guidance for Australian nanotechnology organizations
  • Ensuring consistency with international approaches & contributing to international work

Under the program, Safe Work Australia has published a number of nanotechnology work health and safety documents. These are:

Technical Presentations

Perspectives in Industrial Nano-Materials

The Presentation by Dr Jose Alarco and Dr Shelley Brown-Malker of the Very Small Particle Company (VSPC) will provide a perspective of the use and application of nano-materials with reference to a case study on battery materials. For further background visit the VSPC website www.vspc.com

Dr Jose Alarco: Principal Scientist - VSPC

Adjunct Professor, Chemistry - Queensland University of Technology (QUT)
Dr. Alarco is a founder and co-inventor of VSPC's technologies. He is a very experienced research scientist with an outstanding academic career. He is co-author on numerous peer-reviewed papers in the fields of superconductors, ceramics, nano-materials, properties and microstructural characterization. He has spent the last 11 years concentrating on nano-materials and worked in collaboration with major international companies. More recently, while he still continues at VSPC, he has also become an Adjunct Professor in Chemistry at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), where he is helping to establish stronger links between Industry and QUT's research.

Dr Shelley Brown-Malker: Chief Technical & Operations Manager, VSPC

Dr Brown-Malker joined VSPC in August 2010 and has a background in chemical engineering, applied electrochemistry and bioelectrochemical engineering. She completed a PhD in Electrochemical Engineering in 2008, spending 4.5 years in Sweden researching lithium-ion batteries for power-assist hybrid electric vehicles as part of the Swedish Green Car project. She has worked with the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency on energy storage for application in satellites. As a research Fellow at UQ she took on a project management role for BioElectrochemical System work which formed the basis of award winning contribution to the development of Anaerobic Digestion Technology. Dr Brown-Malker was part of the team that won the UQ Enterprize award (Bilexys) and is credited for integrating advanced battery design into BES technology, resulting in a five fold increase in volumetric energy density.
