Control banding(CB) is a technique used to guide the assessment and management of workplace risks. It is a generic technique that determines a control measure(for example dilution ventilation, engineering controls, containment, etc.) based on a range or "band" of hazards(such as skin/eye irritant, very toxic, carcinogenic, etc) and exposures(small, medium, large exposure). It is an approach that is based on two pillars; the fact that there are a limited number of control approaches, and that many problems have been met and solved before... It is an approach that focuses resources on exposure controls and describes how strictly a risk needs to be managed. 2, record 1, English, - control%20banding

La gestion graduée des risques [...] représente actuellement l’approche la plus souvent préconisée pour l’évaluation des risques liés aux nanomatériaux [...] L’approche [...] se base sur un processus d’identification et de classification, par bandes, du danger (bande de danger) qui tient compte des connaissances actuelles des nanomatériaux mis en œuvre et utilise des hypothèses prudentes pour estimer les informations manquantes. Ces informations sont combinées à l’estimation du potentiel d’exposition du travailleur (bande d’exposition) pour en déduire un niveau de risque. À chaque niveau de risque correspond une technologie de maîtrise minimale appropriée. Cet outil, dont l’application requiert une expertise en évaluation et en gestion des risques chimiques, permet de hiérarchiser les risques par poste de travail et de prioriser les actions minimales de prévention à mettre en place [...] 2, record 1, French, - gestion%20gradu%C3%A9e%20des%20risques

As used on an MSDS [material safety data sheet], general ventilation, also known as dilution ventilation, is the removal of contaminated air from the general area and the bringing in of clean air. This dilutes the amount of contaminant in the work environment. General ventilation is usually suggested for non-hazardous materials. 2, record 2, English, - general%20ventilation

Aux fins des FTSS [fiche technique sur la sécurité des substances], la ventilation générale, également connue sous le nom de ventilation par dilution, consiste à évacuer l'air contaminé d'une pièce et à le remplacer par de l'air frais, ce qui réduit la quantité de contaminant qui se trouve dans l'air du milieu de travail. La ventilation générale sert ordinairement dans les cas où il s'agit de substances non dangereuses. 3, record 2, French, - ventilation%20avec%20apport%20d%27air%20neuf
