Isocyanates - Are you doing enough?


Work With Isocyanates? Are You Testing Correctly?
 
Biological monitoring for Isocyanates has become the occupational standard for those working with isocyanate-based chemicals for example throughout the motor-vehicle repair industry and surface coatings industries.
However the HSE’s recent drive on Isocyanate testing has exposed many companies not carrying out biological monitoring required by them under the COSHH regulations.

Companies found to be falling short may be issued with an Improvement Notice from the HSE which would lead to charges under the HSE Fee for Intervention scheme – if you’re unsure about your requirements towards biological monitoring please contact us for advice, we are here to help.
