Worker Safety for Truck Bed Liner Applications
- Over the past several years, API has worked to address worker safety and health issues within the polyurethanes industry. One emerging issue relates to worker health and safety in the truck bed lining industry. When working with a diisocyanate product, proper material handling and following guidelines for a safe work environment are important. However, due to the relatively small size of companies in the truck bed liner industry, it can be difficult to educate workers about how to protect themselves from such exposures.
