About this document
Isocyanates are listed in Schedule 14 of the WHS Regulation, and where workers are exposed to them — as they are whenever polyurethane or polyurea membranes are sprayed or injected — health monitoring is a mandatory duty, not a discretionary one. Isocyanate exposure is a leading cause of occupational asthma, and once a worker is sensitised there is no safe level of further exposure.
This program sets out who requires monitoring, the role of the supervising registered medical practitioner, and the components of the monitoring itself — occupational and medical history, a standardised respiratory questionnaire, examination of the respiratory system and skin, and standardised lung-function tests such as FEV1 and FVC. It records the exposure standard (0.02 mg/m³ over eight hours, 0.07 mg/m³ short-term), sets the frequency, and provides a worker register and record-keeping that keeps results confidential while informing the worker.
