Who is the diisocyanates course for?
The course on diisocyanates is aimed at workers, technicians, safety managers and other professionals who, in industrial and professional settings, are involved in the handling, use or management of diisocyanates and their mixtures. It is particularly suitable for those who must comply with European occupational safety and health regulations.
Sanctions
Penalties for those who do not attend the course on diisocyanates, which is required by law under the REACH Regulation (EC Regulation No. 1907/2006), can include administrative fines, suspension of work and criminal liability in case of accidents or damage to workers' health. The specific penalties vary depending on the applicable national legislation and the severity of the violation.
What does the diisocyanates course consist of?
The diisocyanates course consists of theoretical training aimed at ensuring the safe use of these chemicals. It covers topics such as the properties of diisocyanates, health hazards, current regulations, individual and collective protective measures, and proper handling and storage procedures. The program also includes practical exercises to apply the knowledge gained and final evaluation tests to check skills.
What does the course allow me to do once completed?
Once you have completed the course, you will receive certification that you are fit to use diisocyanates safely, in accordance with European regulations. This will enable you to handle and use diisocyanates and their mixtures in a professional setting, complying with legal obligations and reducing occupational health and safety risks. You will also be able to correctly apply the necessary prevention and protection measures, contributing to a safer working environment.

What are they and what does diisocyanates mean?
Diisocyanates are chemical compounds used in the production of polyurethanes, found in foams, coatings, adhesives and elastomers. Exposure to diisocyanates without adequate protective measures can cause effects such as irritation, allergic reactions and, in severe cases, respiratory sensitization resulting in chronic respiratory distress.
For this reason, diisocyanates training has been made mandatory in accordance with the REACH Regulation (EC Regulation No. 1907/2006) for all workers and professionals who handle these substances, in order to reduce the associated risks and promote the adoption of safe practices. Diisocyanate training is therefore essential to know and properly manage the hazards associated with these compounds.
Diisocyanates course: a way to protect workers' health
The diisocyanates course has become mandatory to protect the health of workers exposed to these chemicals, in accordance with the REACH Regulation (EC Regulation No. 1907/2006). Uncontrolled exposure to diisocyanates can cause serious health problems that, if neglected, can become irreversible.
The introduction of mandatory diisocyanate training (from August 24, 2023 for anyone using diisocyanates in concentrations above 0.1 percent) is in response to the high number of cases of occupational diseases caused by unsafe use of these substances.
What are the risks of diisocynates if proper precautions are not used?
The use of diisocyanates without proper precautions can cause several health issues, especially for workers who are directly exposed, for example:
- Respiratory sensitization. Exposure to diisocyanate vapors can lead to respiratory sensitization, which can manifest with symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing and, in severe cases, occupational asthma. This condition can become chronic and irreversible, limiting the worker's ability to continue working in environments with the presence of diisocyanates.
- Skin irritations and dermatitis. Direct contact with diisocyanates can cause skin irritation, redness and contact dermatitis. These reactions can become recurrent or chronic, compromising the worker's skin health.
3. Eye and mucous membrane problems. Diisocyanate vapors can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, causing redness, tearing and burning. In some cases, they can lead to permanent sensitivity that makes it difficult to tolerate work environments even at low concentrations of diisocyanates.
4. Allergic reactions. Repeated exposure to diisocyanates can lead to allergic sensitization, causing acute reactions even at low levels of subsequent exposure. This poses a high risk to workers, as allergic reactions can occur suddenly and become severe.
Isocyanate training teaches the necessary preventive and protective measures, such as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), proper ventilation systems and safe handling procedures. Following the guidelines provided in the diisocyanates course is critical to preventing these issues and ensuring a safe working environment.
