Spray Polyurethane Foam Chemical Health and Safety Training

Welcome to the American Chemistry Council (ACC)’s Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI)’s Spray Polyurethane Foam Chemical Health and Safety Training. As part of our efforts to support safety and product stewardship, CPI, in cooperation with the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA) and others, developed and launched this training course that is available at no cost for applicators and helpers who work with professional grade, high-pressure spray polyurethane foam (“SPF”).

About the Training

The Spray Polyurethane Foam Chemical Health and Safety Training provides information about the use, handling and disposal of SPF, potential health hazards and appropriate control measures, including engineering controls and personal protective equipment (PPE). The training provides guidance to applicators and helpers who apply professional grade, high-pressure SPF in either interior or exterior applications. Click here to see a video about our training program and here for a presentation with more information.

Verify a Worker’s Training Status

The Spray Polyurethane Foam Chemical Health and Safety Training allows users to verify a worker’s training status by checking the individual’s unique system  identification number that each person received upon completing the training. It can be found on the “Recognition of Completion” card. No company or individual information (address, phone, etc.) will be displayed in this searchable public database. Click here to check the status of a user’s ID.

Becoming an Instructor

Anyone who passes the exam with a score of 100% or greater can become an instructor and administer the Spray Polyurethane Foam Chemical Health and Safety Training in person to other applicators and helpers.
