OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS TO WORKERS ASSOCIATED WITH NANOTECHNOLOGY

Globally, nanotechnology is considered the most promising technology of the future with great economic potential for growth and employment. Nanotechnology is definitely the next industrial revolution and can be expected to have a direct impact on daily life and lead to changes in the areas of social and economic life. Nanotechnology is becoming a strategic investment area that no country or nation can neglect. New technologies are transforming all spheres from healthcare to transportation and manufacturing. New types of jobs are being created, and the structure of employment is changing. People of all ages will have to adapt to the new situation on the labor market, which is associated with technological changes and structural shifts in the demand for labor, the importance and possibility of retraining, advanced training, and career guidance throughout life will obviously be updated. This is followed by a synopsis of research on the impact of nanotechnology on the workforce, which shows, on the one hand, growing evidence of the specific risks associated with nanoparticles, and on the other hand, the potential for transforming the labor structure. The study shows the importance of monitoring the impact of new technologies on the development of labor relations and employment in order to identify risk areas
