Moulded Polyurethane Manufacturers – HSE Inspection – MbOCA and Isocyanates

In 2010/2011 the HSE are to undergo a programme of inspections designed to improve exposure control standards and promote awareness and knowledge of the risks posed by MbOCA and Isocyanates.

These chemicals are used in the manufacture of moulded polyurethane articles and have very real and specific hazards to users:

·         MbOCA has the risk phrase “May cause Cancer” and it is readily absorbed through skin on contact.

·         Isocyanates can cause occupational asthma if vapour and aerosols are inhaled and skin sensitisation can occur through contact with skin.

To control these risks Duty Holders need to ensure they provide adequate:

Risk Assessment

·         Control Measures

·         Information, Instruction and Training for Workers

·         Maintenance, Examination and Testing of Control Measures

·         Supervision, Monitoring and Review

Effective LEV should also be provided for processes involving heated MbOCA and isocyanates.

HSE Campaign on Risk Assessment in the Use of Hazardous Substances

During 2010 there is a European-wide campaign called “Risk Assessment in the Use of Hazardous Substances”. The aim of the project is simple:

• Promote risk assessment for hazardous substances

• Focused on small and medium sized companies

• Targeted on the industry sector not a specific substance

• Raise awareness among employers and workers

• Assist enforcement inspectors
In the UK the focus will be on risks associated with the motor repair industry such as paint spraying and welding. For more information click here

Assessment of the substances used during the normal working practises of your organisation is an essential part of your health and safety plan and must be completed by a competent person. If you like independent assistance, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you in any way we can.

Bahrain Aluminium Mill – Air Testing

Our Ocupational Hygienists have been requested to complete workplace air monitoring for an aluminium works in Bahrain.

In September this year, a Riverside Occupational Hygienist will travel over 3000 miles from the UK to Bahrain to provide air monitoring services to GARMCO, the largest downstream aluminium facility in the Arabian Gulf region, providing 165,000 tonnes per year of rolled aluminium across the world.

The project is to carry out work place air monitoring to identify potential risks from contaminants such as metal dust, fluorides and process gases. This is carried out as part of a routine risk management plan adopted by the site.

We are obviously very happy to have earned a reputation resulting in requests such as this and will be hoping to build upon that reputation by providing the highest standards in air monitoring throughout the project.

If you need workplace air monitoring completed on your sites, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you in any way we can.
