Safety measures when working with polyurethane<\/h6>\n

Working with ready-made foam does not require any special safety measures. However, this is not the case when working with polyurethane foam. Foaming polyurethane involves mixing the raw materials isocyanate and polyol to produce polyurethane foam. From 24 August 2023, appropriate training will be required before industrial or commercial use of products containing more than 0.1% by weight of isocyanates.<\/p>\n

Training requirements and courses for safe working with isocyanates<\/h6>\n

Only persons who have undergone special training may work with polyurethane foaming. The education is offered by institutions for vocational education, such as AMU centers and technical schools.<\/p>\n

Employers or self-employed persons who use the products themselves or weld must also have undergone the training before starting work. Everyone who works with isocyanate must complete a two-day course.<\/p>\n

All employees who work with isocyanates and have an increased risk of exposure to the substance must complete a specific AMU course on personal safety. The course lasts 1 day.<\/p>\n
