Reminder: Where PPE is used, the employer must provide it free of charge. The employer also has to maintain it, replace it when it no longer does the job and provide adequate storage.

The worker has to use it as trained and return it to that storage. Lost or defective kit should be reported right away.

A CE or UKCA mark shows that a product was assessed against design rules before it was sold

It does not tell you it is the right kit for the job in front of you, or that anyone has to wear it

Important isocyanates awareness information ⤵️

Isocyanate paint mist is invisible but extremely dangerous. It spreads through the air like smoke and can reach dangerous concentrations in seconds.

Proper spray facilities, respiratory protection and clearance times aren't optional - they're essential to protect lives and careers.

Health and safety law requires employers to implement both biological monitoring and health surveillance when workers remain exposed to isocyanate risks despite control measures ⤵️

🩺 Regular health surveillance for paint sprayers isn't optional - it's a legal requirement under COSHH.

Lung function tests and skin checks can detect early signs of occupational asthma and dermatitis when treatment works best.
