The introduction, literature review and the methodology are covered in this Final Year project under the title “Consequence study on toxicity of engineered nanomaterial”. The production and the use of Engineered Nanomaterials have begun to increase in large volume, in which this material may cause new or increased risks to the worker in the ENMs industry as they need to expose themselves to ENMs every day. The main aim for this research is to develop the existing risk assessment tool for ENMs. Occupational exposure limit for nanomaterial has been added to the calculation of the tool. Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Visual Basic is used to develop the risk assessment tool for ENMs industry. However, the develop tool still need further validation by compute the result from the tool in the real ENM industry under the recommendation of Industrial Hygiene. The modification of the points and parameters can be adjust accordingly when more research is available
