Diisocyanates

The amendment to the REACH Regulation 2006, introduced starting from August 2020, with Restriction no. 74 relating to the use of diisocyanates, requires all workers who use products containing diisocyanates in concentrations higher than 0.1% to attend and complete with specific training and subsequent five-year refresher course are successful. The standard concerns use in both the professional and industrial sectors, and is aimed at all workers: employees, self-employed, employers and all those who, although not directly involved in processing with diisocyanates, are responsible for supervising these activities. The aim is that every operator who handles diisocyanates has adequate knowledge of the risks associated with their use, including training in damage prevention and management, which is added to appropriate experience of their use.
