ISOPA has published updated guidelines (edition 5.1) for the safe loading/unloading, transportation, and storage of TDI and MDI.
Besides enhanced communication between drivers and operators, the 5th edition placed greater focus on the role of site operators during the unloading process. The new 5.1 edition includes additional targeted amendments to Chapter 9 with regards to those unloading operations.
The safe transport of diisocyanates is essential both to people and its manufacturers. All the participants in the supply chain, the manufacturers of MDI/TDI, the transportation companies and the receivers of the products, play vital roles in ensuring that accidents and incidents are prevented.
ISOPA remains committed to continuously raising standards for the loading, transport, unloading and storage of diisocyanates and polyols. Our aim is to ensure maximum protection of health and safety and a consistent, industry-wide approach.
Our updated guidelines put these commitments into practice and to ensure the highest levels of safety in the transportation of our chemicals.
You can find the updated guidelines under the News & Documents section on our website.
