• Description:
  The term advanced manufacturing has been used to capture recent technology-enabled changes in manufacturing, including the use of novel, cutting edge materials, technologies, and processes, and manufacturing methods that are prone to fast and frequent modifications. Establishing occupational safety and health (OSH) practices may be particularly challenging in such environments. To assist advanced manufacturing stakeholders in identifying potential worker health and safety issues associated with advanced materials and advanced manufacturing technologies, we researched the scope of advanced manufacturing and explored the implications of that scope for OSH. Using literature reviews and interviews with subject matter experts, we (1) constructed a definition of advanced manufacturing, (2) proposed a framework that operationalizes that definition, and (3) outlined an initial set of OSH implications for advanced manufacturing settings.
