SAFETY is not a one time effortSAFETY is not a one time effort
• Commitment from the ISOPA Member Companies
• Continuous improvement required
• Working with hazardous chemicals requires right attitude towards health & safety from management and workers.
• Good Environmental, Health and Safety attitude helps to secure future business success

Walk the Talk Second Generation
• WtT was launched in 2006 as an ISOPA package for the PU Industry onsafe use of aromatic Diisocyanates and Polyols
• End 2010, new EU legislation, REACH regulation (EC) 1907/2006 andGHS, in EU CLP regulation (EC) 1272/2008, are affecting the chemicalindustry bringing the need to refresh and re-address the safe use through
− Stimulating the Dialog, − and Continuous Improvement.− Resulting in Behaviour ChangeResulting in Behaviour Change
• Walk the Talk is focusing on industrial and professional use.

There is a new dimension to the initial industry pro-active safety program „Walk the Talk“
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation of Chemicals)
First registrations finalised by December 1st 2010 with the goal to:• Provide a high level of protection to human health and environment• Ensure high safety standards in industry• Have compliance demonstrated....“Safe Use“
MDI has R40: there will be no further restrictions regarding the handling and use of MDI
March ’11 version ISOPA 2011 8
New regulation on Classification Labelling and Packaging
• Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP Regulation) is the new EU legislation on classification, labelling and packaging of substances
d i t(mandatory 1 Dec 2010) and mixtures (mandatory 1 June 2015).• The UN GHS (Globally Harmonised System for Classification and Labelling of
Ch i l ) h b d t d th h th CLP R l ti l i Chemicals) has been adopted through the CLP Regulation replacing the provisions of the Dangerous Substances / Preparations Directives, which will be finally repealed by 1 June 2015.
Product hazards remain the same, b t h d i ti hbut hazard communication changes

REACH Safety Data Sheets
SDS ( t d d S f t D t Sh t)eSDS (extended Safety Data Sheet)
R di th SDS f li i MUST b it Reading the eSDS from your supplier is a MUST, because it contains information on applications and safe handling and how to be in regulatory compliance for REACH
March ’11 version ISOPA 2011 12
REACH Safety Data Sheets, eSDSyAre you in compliance?
Ch t 16 f th SDSChapter 16 of the eSDS:1. Look for the Exposure Scenario which lists your application/use
2. Within the Exposure Scenario review:
1. Process Category and Processes, tasks, activities coveredg y , ,
2. Products/article characteristics, operational conditions
3 Risk Management Measures3. Risk Management Measures
March ’11 version ISOPA 2011 13
Compare your own operation parameters with the eSDS of your supplier(s)
How do I know, that I have a ‘Safe Use’ situation?
Compare your own operation parameters with the eSDS of your supplier(s)
• Use means:TASK [=Exposure Scenario] x CONDITION IN WHICH TASK TAKES PLACE – TASK [=Exposure Scenario] x CONDITION IN WHICH TASK TAKES PLACE [Operational Conditions] = POTENTIAL EXPOSURE
• The conditions of use “potential exposure in a use”.The conditions of use potential exposure in a use .• They include:
– the operational conditions (OC)– the risk management measures, (RMM), like personal protective equipment– concentration in a preparation or an article and the physical state (powder, liquid etc)– Information on the surroundings in which the substance is usedg
March ’11 version ISOPA 2011 14
You need to comply with REACH
• Authorities will review REACHimplementation along the value chain
• Check your operational conditionsand whether you are in Compliance:Demonstrate safe use of yourchemicals in your particular applications.
• To obtain Safe Use you need to follow the instructions in the eSDS as outlined in Section 16, within the Exposure Scenarios:
March ’11 version ISOPA 2011 15
Example of eSDS
• Show the eSDS of the specific MDI
• Highlight and discuss the customer specific Application/Use
• Ensure Compliance is understood

• If in doubt, keep flushing• Flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes• See eye specialist as soon as possible• Advice not to wear contact lenses, they could complicate treatment in
f case of emergency.
• Immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash with soap & water• An MDI skin decontamination study demonstrated that cleaning very soon • An MDI skin decontamination study demonstrated that cleaning very soon
after exposure is important, and that a polyglycol-based skin cleanser or corn oil may be more effective than soap and water
• Go outside into fresh air• Doctor must be called or patient taken to medical facility• Inform supplier – who can provide supporting information
