Identify safety considerations specific to a proposed technology transfer.

Identification may include

• using or modifying safety resources (e.g., safety data sheets [SDS], personal protective equipment [PPE])
• potential dangers or hazards when innovating or adapting a technology
• considering the use of new tools, machines, or materials
• potential consequences (i.e., intended, unintended, positive, negative).

Process/Skill Questions:

• How would you analyze your technology for safety hazards and violations? What are ways the hazards or violations could be eliminated?
• What are some possible health effects of exposure to this technology?
• What safety precautions can be identified for the consumer?
