The diisocyanate training course is intended for employees who use PU foam, adhesives, paints, sealants, and other products containing diisocyanates.
Take the theory course online—get your work reviewed by an expert
When REACH requirements apply, online training must be combined with verbal dialogue and the opportunity to ask questions of an expert on diisocyanates. The employer determines the appropriate level of training and provides on-site instruction regarding the products, work methods, and personal protective equipment. A standard mentoring program alone does not satisfy the expert requirement.
The expert must have documented expertise in occupational health and safety and diisocyanates. The employer must document the training and ensure that it is renewed at least every five years, in accordance with REACH requirements. This theoretical course does not automatically include expert consultation.
In short: Check the safety data sheet, choose the appropriate level, and combine theory with verbal discussions with experts. Document the entire training process.
