This IIRSM-approved Diisocyanates Awareness Training course meets the legal requirement to train workers on the safe use of diisocyanates.
The course provides an understanding of diisocyanate hazards, risk controls and strategies to prevent exposure at work. Employees who complete the course will be compliant with UK REACH training requirements.
I can also say that I am impressed with the way Human Focus have been in communication as well as the many training modules both myself and Peter have recently gone through. We will continue with Human Focus for further training.

Why Is Diisocyanates Awareness Training Important?
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.
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 diisocyanates concentration above 0.1%.
This online Diisocyanates Awareness Training course fulfils UK REACH training requirements and gives individuals the knowledge to identify exposure hazards and implement risk control measures. It helps employees manage diisocyanate risks and prevent exposure.
