August 2023 — From 24th August 2023, industrial and professional users handling diisocyanates will need to have successfully completed training on their safe use before working with these materials.
Diisocyanates are a key building block of polyurethane coatings, binders, adhesives and foams. The training requirement covers the hazards involved, risk assessment and safe handling, the use of personal protective equipment, and the measures to take in the event of a spill or exposure. Refresher training is required on a regular cycle.
Leeson Polyurethanes supports customers through clear product labelling, up to date safety data sheets and technical guidance on safe handling and application. If you are unsure whether your team's training is up to date, please contact us and we will point you in the right direction.
