Diisocyanates are organic compounds widely used in the production of polyurethane products and sealants, as well as coatings, adhesives and paints. Under the UK regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), safety training is mandatory for employees who use or handle products with a monomeric diisocyanate concentration above 0.1%.
This diisocyanate training online course gives trainees a comprehensive understanding of the health risks associated with diisocyanate. It also provides an understanding of the necessary risk controls and the employee’s role in implementing them. Employees who complete the course will be compliant with UK REACH training requirements.

Diisocyanates can pose substantial health and safety risks when not handled properly. This training programme helps individuals who work with diisocyanates or use products containing diisocyanates to keep themselves and others safe from exposure.
The course covers the essentials of safe diisocyanate use, including exposure risks, health hazards and control measures. It fulfils UK REACH requirements to provide safety training for employees involved in industrial and professional diisocyanate use.
Diisocyanates are widely used in manufacturing, construction, and automotive sectors to produce polyurethane products. Inhalation or skin contact with diisocyanates can lead to allergic reactions and skin sensitisation. In severe cases, it can cause conditions such as asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis or even fatalities. Given these potential risks, it is essential for all employees working with products containing diisocyanates to receive safety training.
This diisocyanate awareness course gives individuals the knowledge and skills to identify exposure hazards and implement risk control measures. It helps employees manage diisocyanate risks to keep industrial processes safe and protect themselves and others from exposure.
Employers have a legal duty to ensure the health and safety of their workers. Any employer that uses diisocyanates for industrial or professional purposes must:
These duties align with the following legislation:
Non-compliance with these regulations can result in severe consequences, including fines, penalties, prosecution and work disruptions due to enforcement actions.
Single Module
30+ minutes
This course contains the following sections:
Explains how diisocyanates exposure commonly occurs, risks associated with acute and chronic exposure and diisocyanates as a reactive hazard.

Diisocyanates are a family of chemicals used primarily in producing polyurethane products. They are highly reactive compounds that can be hazardous when not handled properly.
Diisocyanates are widely used to produce polyurethane products, such as coatings, adhesives, sealants, paints and foams. These products have applications in various industries, including construction, automotive and manufacturing.
Diisocyanates awareness training educates workers about the potential hazards associated with these chemicals and necessary control measures. It helps prevent exposure, ensure safety and minimise health risks in the workplace. This training is mandatory for any worker who handles diisocyanates for professional or industrial uses.
Anyone who works with or around diisocyanates for professional or industrial uses should complete diiscocyanates awareness training. This includes workers in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, automotive, furniture production and spray foam insulation.
Inhalation or skin contact with diisocyanates can lead to allergic reactions and skin sensitisation. In severe instances, exposure can cause conditions like asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis or even prove fatal.
Diisocyanate exposure can be prevented through proper training, use of PPE, effective engineering controls and safety protocols.
Yes. Under the UK regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), all professional and industrial employees handling or using products containing more than 0.1% monomeric diisocyanates must complete adequate safety training.
