From August 24, 2023, anyone using or handling diisocyanates and diisocyanate-containing mixtures and products must have completed safe use training. Medco DinHMS offers such training in some variants.
There are three different levels of training requirements, based on risk:
Level 1 - Basic level
Applies to those who use or handle products containing diisocyanates and the overseers to those who use products containing isocyanates. E.g. short-term work with low-volatile isocyanate products (construction foam, viscous glue, etc.).
Level 2 - Intermediate level – extended course is required
Applies to those who use products with diisoscyanates for the application of substances with e.g. spraying, rolling, dripping, cleaning, work in open spaces, etc. (e.g. spraying in a paint booth or processing of uncured products).
Level 3 - Advanced level – extended course is required
Applies to those who use products with diisocyanates with higher risk work, e.g. at higher temperatures (casting, processing hot uncured products above 45°C, spraying in open air or outside a paint booth).
For basic level (level 1), Medco DinHMS in collaboration with FIDL, offers a game-based e-learning course with a follow-up webinar. At the webinar, an occupational hygienist will do a short repetition of some important points from the e-learning and there will be time to ask questions. Registration is done in the registration form on this page.
For intermediate (level 2) and advanced level (level 3), there is a need for extended and specially adapted education. This can be done by one of our occupational hygienists, either as:
1. FIDL e-learning course (level 1) + adapted digital or physical program (level 2 and/or 3)
2. The entire course digitally or physically (levels 1-3)
If you are unsure of what level of training your business needs, or to arrange a course/receive offers, contact us with the registration form on this page or at post@medco-dinhms.no.
The learning objectives of the e-learning course
The objectives are to make the participant be able to understand and explain:
• What diisocyanates are, and in which industries they are used
• The importance of information on and labeling of chemicals
• How exposure to diisocyanates can cause a variety of health problems
• Conditions in the various working environments that may entail risks for unwanted incidents
• Probability of and the consequences of such events based on a presented risk situation
• Relevant measures that can reduce the likelihood of the riskVarious preventive measures concerning people, methods, environment and materials
• Various emergency procedures and contingency plans relating to spills, leaks and other exposure
• How The Occupational Health Service can collaborate with people and businesses on HSE in the workplace
