Assessment Resource for Skilled Spray Polyurethane Foam Applicators and Supervisors in the Construction Industry
The Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (Fraunhofer IBP) has published a new Self-Evaluation Tool for Professional SPF Contractors and Project Managers. This voluntary aid is designed to help companies periodically evaluate their practices and technologies related to SPF insulation, promoting safe use of spray polyurethane foam (SPF) and complementing on-site checklists.
While the tool is not a mandatory requirement, it may help companies ensure they are following best practices for SPF insulation, some of which may be legally mandated under local, state, or federal worker protection or other regulations. The Self-Evaluation Tool does not replace regulatory compliance but may include practices required by regulations.
The tool, available as a downloadable document (946.07 KB), is intended for use by professional SPF contractors and project managers. It aims to assist these professionals in assessing their safety measures and adherence to industry best practices, thereby helping to minimise potential risks from SPF.
The Self-Evaluation Tool is not a regulatory compliance tool, but rather a voluntary aid for safe SPF insulation practices. It may help companies ensure they are following best practices for SPF insulation, some of which may be legally mandated. Some best practices included in the checklist may be required under local, state, or federal worker protection or other regulations.
The tool is intended to complement on-site checklists and assist companies in evaluating their practices and technologies. By using this tool, companies can gain a better understanding of their current practices and identify areas for improvement, ultimately leading to a safer work environment for all involved in SPF insulation projects.
In conclusion, the Self-Evaluation Tool for Professional SPF Contractors and Project Managers, published by the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics, is a valuable resource for those in the industry. It serves as a voluntary aid to protect against potential risks from SPF and helps companies ensure they are following best practices for SPF insulation.
