The Center for the Polyurethanes Industry of the American Chemistry Council promotes the sustainable growth of the polyurethane industry, in accordance with the principles of Responsible Care®, by identifying and managing issues that could impact the industry, in cooperation with user groups. Its members are U.S. producers or distributors of chemicals and equipment used to make polyurethane or are manufacturers of polyurethane products.
OSHA regulations require employers to provide respirators when necessary to protect the health of employees (29 CFR 1910.134). Supplied-air respirators can protect employees from exposure to MDI during spray application and may in fact be necessary to meet OSHA or other governmental workplace requirements.
