Recommendations on prevention regarding work involving epoxy and isocyanates

The Working Environment Council's document describes options to prevent exposure to expoxy and isocyanates, considering the hierarchy of measures and taking account of the workplace situation and the implemented tasks. The document does not contain any specific details about the measures.
In 2016, the Working Environment Council sent its recommendations on prevention regarding work involving epoxy and isocyanates to the Minister for Employment.
The recommendations are based on research and experience from both experts and practitioners and consider good practice from other countries.
The Council has emphasised that preventive action must take into account a large variation in the selection and use of epoxy and isocyanates, which are used in many different industries and types of companies. Therefore, the Working Environment Council recommends a multi-stranded effort, where several types of measures are used in combination.
