Lovpålagt opplæring: Safe handling of diisocyanates - June 4th
Mandatory training in safe use of diisocyanates for leaders and employees in accordance with training level 1, 2 and 3
Did you know that around 5,000 workers in Europe fall ill every year with work-related respiratory diseases? The reason for this is exposure to chemicals or products containing diisocyanates. If you work with paint, glue, joint foam, insulation, plaster or other sealing materials and surface treatments, you may be affected by harmful exposure.
Since 24. of August 2023, everyone who handles diisocyanates at work must have completed training in safe use. The training must be repeated at least every five years. This course is held in English for employees, employers and self-employed individuals who handle diisocyanates directly, process products containing diisocyanates or supervise this type of work. The goal is to create a secure and proper working environment and reduce health risk for both you and your colleagues.
