Isocyanates - The Silent Sensitizers 

January 20, 2021

Isocyanates are hazardous chemicals found in parkade membranes and polyurethane spray foams. Working with these chemicals can lead to asthma attacks caused by exposure to even very low levels of isocyanates. This session will combine the technical and scientific knowledge required to safely work with isocyanates with real-life experience of managing isocyanates on site. The presenters will discuss the health effects of isocyanates, the WorkSafeBC requirements, and how to make sure that workers are effectively protected from exposure. They will use a case-study of isocyanate control in a parkade to demonstrate some common mistakes made when dealing with isocyanates, and how to fix them.
