Introduces the Safe Innovation Approach, combining Safe by Design and Regulatory Preparedness to address safety early in the innovation process, with a focus on nanomaterials.

This SOP focuses on standardising dermal exposure assessment to total chromium through wipe sampling, based on established IOM procedures and OSHA Method ID-125G guidelines. The protocol utilises SKC Ghost wipes to collect representative samples of hand contamination, supporting consistent and reliable monitoring of metals such as chromium, zinc, nickel, and hydrocarbons across different exposure scenarios.
