CCAR and ACC Join Together to Release New Automotive Refinishing Safety Video
Organizations Partner to Enhance Worker Safety
CCAR (The Coordinating Committee For Automotive
Repair) and The
American Chemistry Council (ACC) are pleased to announce the launch of a
new automotive refinishing safety practices video which has been posted on YouTube.
Diisocyanates are an incredible
chemical building block used to produce polyurethane paints that have a
high-gloss appearance, excellent resistance, and that are fast drying. CCAR
worked with ACC’s Aliphatic Diisocyanates Panel to produce this easy to
understand, instructional video for workers in the automotive refinishing
industry.
“It was a genuine pleasure
working with ACC on creating this informational video; we look forward to
collaborating with them further on this and other projects,” said Charlie
Ayers, President of CCAR. “We connected with the staff from CCAR at an OSHA
Alliance Partner meeting to advance mutual safety goals and increase awareness
and understanding on this matter that impacts many of our shared constituents,”
added Sahar Osman-Sypher, Director within ACC’s Chemical Products and
Technology Division and Manager of its Aliphatic Diisocyanates (ADI) Panel.
The 3-minute video highlights
include:
- Explaining the attributes of diisocyanates
- Where diisocyanates are often used
- How to protect yourself on the job by using the
appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and - Precautions to take when working with
diisocyanate-based polyurethane coatings
This is not the first time that ACC and CCAR
have joined forces. As is referenced in the video, more information about
diisocyanates is available on both the CCAR website (or by clicking
here) as well as on the ACC ADI Panel website (or by clicking here).
