Currently, nanotechnology plays a key role for technological innovation, including the construction sector. An exponential increase is expected in its application, although this has been hampered by the current degree of uncertainty regarding the potential effects of nanomaterials on both human health and the environment. The accidents, illnesses, and disease related to the use of nanoproducts in the construction sector are difficult to identify. For this purpose, this work analyzes in depth the products included in recognized inventories and the safety data sheets of these construction products. Based on this analysis, a review of the recommendations on the use of manufactured nanomaterials at construction sites is performed. Finally, a protocol is proposed with the aim of it serving as a tool for technicians in decision-making management at construction sites related to the use of manufactured nanomaterials. This proposed protocol should be an adaptive and flexible tool while the manufactured nanomaterials-based work continues to be considered as an "emerging risk," despite the expectation that the protocol will be useful for the development of new laws and recommendations for occupational risk prevention management.
目前，纳米技术在技术创新中发挥着关键作用，包括建筑领域。尽管纳米材料对人类健康和环境的潜在影响的不确定性阻碍了其应用的快速发展，但预计其应用将呈指数级增长。与建筑领域使用纳米产品相关的事故、疾病和病症很难被识别。为此，这项工作深入分析了已被认可的清单中的产品，以及这些建筑产品的安全数据表。基于这一分析，对建筑工地上使用制造纳米材料的建议进行了审查。最后，提出了一个协议，目的是为建筑工地上与制造纳米材料相关的使用决策管理的技术人员提供一个工具。该协议应是一个自适应和灵活的工具，同时基于制造纳米材料的工作继续被视为“新兴风险”，尽管该协议将有助于制定新的法律和建议，以管理职业风险预防。
