Paints, glues and spray polyurethane foams (also known as SPF, or spray foam insulation) often contain the highly reactive chemicals known as isocyanates. Workers exposed to isocyanates can develop asthma or rashes. Some people become sensitized, suffering asthma attacks or developing rashes if exposed to even small amounts, and more serious reactions can result in lost work days, disability and even death.

manage these hazards
through CPWR's Hazard Alert and Toolbox Talk on isocyanates, both of which are available in English and Spanish.
