Driver Product & Safety Training
MDI / TDI Bulk Liquid Transportation
Revision March 2012
This driver training package was first developed in 2000 by ISOPA, in cooperation with the transportation companies for drivers and those active in the logistics supply chain in line with the Responsible Care ® principles, to help ensure the safe loading, transportation and unloading of isocyanates. More than 6,000 drivers have been trained since then.
This package should be used by dedicated trainers who have undergone a training session organised by ISOPA. For more information contact [email protected] or your MDI / TDI supplier.Based on the attendance list, ISOPA will dispatch signed certificate cards for drivers who have successfully completed the programme. Certificates are valid for 3 years.
The ISOPA driver training package contains a slide show and a questionnaire file, which also includes the required attendance list. Attendance lists and slideshow can be obtained from: http://www.isopa.org/isopa/index.php?page=driver-training in a variety of languages.The slideshow contains 55 slides. The videos and DVDs mentioned in these slides can be obtained through an order form on the same website. It is recommended to print the Speaker notes, included in the slideshow, and read them carefully before the package is used. The Questionnaire is a multiple choice test, of which the trainer can select 20 relevant questions dependent on the haulier, mode of transport, and type of diisocyanate. Mark the selected questions in column A and use the counter in cell A3 to ensure you have 20 questions. Use the filter button in cell A3 to retrieve the final questionnaire.The questionnaire is in columns B-I (print pages 1-2). Trainers should contact ISOPA to obtain the link to the answers.Column K contains a reference to where in the slide package the specific question is dealt with.Procedure:[1] For each session: make sure all attendants are listed on the attendance list, print the list and obtain their signatures; the trainer should also sign the list.[2] After the test, mention on the attendance list the obtained score of each attendant.[3] In order to obtain cards enter the data of the persons who have passed the test into: http://www.isopa.org/drivertraining[4] Send a copy of the signed attendance list - including the obtained scores - to ISOPA (either a scanned copy by e-mail, or a hard copy by ordinary mail).No certificates will be issued until copy of the signed attendance list is received.

Maximum Allowable Concentration (MAC)
MAC : 5.0 – 10.0 ppb
Odour threshold : 0.2 – 0.4 ppm
Therefore:
When you smell it, it’s above the limit ! No used PPE in the cabin
1 mg/m3 = 0.14 ppm
1 ppm = 7.11 mg/m3
1 ppb = 0.001 ppm

Main Physical and Chemical Properties (1)
Vapour pressure:
Dangers of MDI and TDI are of the same magnitude but… vapour pressure of TDI is much higher (20x), therefore the RISKS of TDI are much bigger
Vapour density = 6× Air density
i.e. the vapours are heavier than air!
10
Version March 2012 10
Density range 1.20 – 1.29(For TDI filling degree conform ADR see next slide)
Important temperatures:• Crystallization starts at ± 15°C (product temp.)• Melting when reheated to ± 45°C (product temp.)
Main Physical and Chemical Properties (2)
Density:Before loading it is important to realise that the DENSITY is in the range of 1.20 – 1.29:• Prevent overfill - max. 95 %• Minimum 80% filling degree (without baffles): ADR requirement for TDI, is also strongly recommended for MDI• Careful at roundabouts!
Vapours: Be aware of vent stacks, vapour return outlets etc.
Critical Temperatures: These are approximate values; actuals may vary depending on product/grade

Main Physical and Chemical Properties (3)
MDI / TDI reacts with water (including air!) Temperature and pressure (CO2 release) goes up
significantly in transit without external heating
Possible water sources can be:• Tank cleaning operations• Opening manlids
– for: sampling, discharge etc.– by: customs, customers, drivers etc.
• Non-dried air from customer’s installation• Silica gel filter malfunction
Check temperature at every rest break - inform planning department if temperature is rising “on its own”, and in any case if temperature with / without heating exceeds 50°C.
Pressure check only if you can do this safely (working at height) !
Version March 2012
Effect of MDI/TDI on your Health
13
Short term / one-off exposure above safe level
- Irritates mouth, throat, lungs- Tight chest, coughing - Difficulty in breathing- Eyes watering- Itching, red skin (immediately or delayed)- May be hot or burn
Symptoms can occur up to 24hrs after exposure
Do not try tohide problems !Seek medical assistance
immediately !
This slide contains a list of the symptoms which can occur due to exposure. These symptoms can become evident up to a day after exposure and so there should be careful monitoring to pick up the signs of exposure after the incident.
13
Version March 2012 14
Long term/repeated over- exposure from breathing or skincontact leads to risk of sensitisation
Symptoms such as occasional breathing difficulties similar to asthma, hay fever, sneezing
When sensitised, potentially severe asthma in the case ofeven low MDI/TDI exposure
Sensitisation will prevent working with isocyanates for life
Sensitisation is non-reversible and is a reaction of theimmune system. Not to be confused with irritation
Effect of MDI/TDI on your Health
There is a risk of sensitisation from even a single exposure to a high level of MDI vapour. In a sensitized person even a further low level of exposure can result in severe asthmatic symptoms. There is no cure for a sensitised person. He or she cannot return to work in a factory using MDI – for life.

Personal Health (1)
Use an appropriate cartridge / canister(min. AP2) for maximum 8 hours and throw it out 24 hours after the seal has been broken
Use full face respirator according European standard EN 136, combined with cartridges equipped with standard DIN thread (40 mm) EN 148-1 or gas and combined filters according EN 141. Attention: This standard has been replaced by EN 14387 Note: If powered systems (motor blowers + filters + full face respirators) are used they should comply with EN 12942.
If sealed: watch validity date stamp - do not use if expired;
Once opened: do not use for more than 8 hours in total within any 24-hour time span;
put seal caps back in position between shorter usage periods.
Even a 3-day beard affects the face seal and reduces the effectiveness of the mask ! Do not use same filter for different products. Next product may wash out the previous one into the air breathed in by the wearer! Filters need to be discarded 24 hours after use because:
Filters are activated carbon; the activated carbon adsorbs the product.
Oxygen and water vapour present in the atmosphere will also be adsorbed and will reduce the capacity of the filter.
22
Version March 2012 22
Wash hands (& face) before eating, drinking, smoking or going to the toilet
Keep contaminated PPE out of the cabin
• A quantity of vapour equal to the size of a one Eurocent coin is enough to increase the concentration in the average cabin well above the MAC value
• Imagine working / sleeping in this atmosphere for 8 hours !

Product Quality Control
Certificate of Analysis (CoA)
Samples (Not recommended) • CoA is strongly preferred to a sample• Drivers should not take samples !• Never take a sample in your cab !!!
Not even for 1 minute !!!
Temperature (Customer specific)
Certificate of Analysis:CoA is strongly preferred to a sample; best of all a copy should be faxed or mailed beforehand.
Samples (pvc / glass / alu / etc.):If a sample is inevitable then it should be sent separately.• If customer / customs insists on taking a sample from the road tanker or tank container, then this is only allowed if relevant safety measures have been taken.• Preferred sampling method is via a customer controlled, closed system. • DRIVERS SHOULD NOT TAKE SAMPLES ! Therefore: Call your planner first in case you are still asked to do so.
Temperature:Upon arrival, product to be delivered must meet customer’s requirements, which will depend on their production process!

Site Safety
Make yourself familiar with the site emergency policy and location of following items: Signs & Alarms Wind direction indicator Emergency stop button Emergency shower Assembly point Waste bin (for used gaskets, gloves, etc.) Decontamination & Absorption material
25
Version March 2012 25
Spill Handling (by Emergency Services)
Always wear PPE !!
Drivers should observe from a safe distance and remain available to provide information
Emergency services should:1. Cover sewer system2. Absorb the spill3. Neutralise4. Wait (30–60 minutes after reaction has finished)5. Remove spill after reaction has finished.6. Put residues in designated chemicals waste bin7. Apply decontamination fluid
3. NeutraliseNeutralising before absorbing increases the risk of sewer (or environmental) contamination
4. WaitReaction of isocyanates, as discussed, consumes water (moist) and produces carbon dioxide. Hence “reaction” of the isocyanate during an emergency and will be visible in the form of bubbles or “lively foam”. Once the bubbles have stopped you should still wait 30 minutes for the last traces to react.Cleaning up before the reagents are consumed means carbon dioxide gas will be produced in the waste bins. This carbon dioxide will be driven out of the waste bin entailing toxic or hazardous fumes or when kept tight, it will pressurise and explode.
6. ResiduesDo not close the waste bin.

Tank Equipment
Manlid must be kept closed! (moisture prevention)
Ensure customs letter (if applicable) is present
Do not mix-up the vapour return and liquid line !!!
Tank depressurised?
Cleaned tanks must be dry ! Capacity (keep filling degree in mind!)
Ensure tank space is sufficient to receive the order volume.
A sticker has been created to put on the manhole, to indicate that the manhole must be kept closed. The sticker is available from ISOPA and shown here.
Tanks should be kept carefully sealed, product protected from frost and contact with moisture.
MDI / TDI reacts with moisture producing carbon dioxide (CO2) causing an increase in pressure which may rupture closed containers; the reaction also increases the product temperature (check regularly!).
If no vapour return system is available, then be aware that the tanker is likely to be pressurised. The overpressure should be released to a minimum (< 0.1 bar) before leaving the supply point: pressure upon departure should preferably be similar to the pressure upon arrival!

Opening of Tanks in Transit by Customs Officials
Tanks should not be opened whilst in transit because of the dangers to human health
ISOPA issued a letter to Customs Officials explaining thereasons why
Letter is available in 14 languages i.e. CZ - DE - EN - ES - FR - HU - IT - LV - PL - RO - RU - SK - TUR - UA
Letter can be downloaded from the ISOPA website http://www.isopa.org/isopa/index.php?page=logistics-ehs
33
Letter to Customs Officials,
This road tanker / tank container contains or has contained a diisocyanate (TDI – toluene diisocyanate or MDI – diphenylmethane diisocyanate). This chemical is used in the manufacture of polyurethanes.
The tank contains TDI or MDI vapours. These vapours can cause a strong asthmatic reaction if they are breathed-in. This condition can last a life-time. Any symptoms may take up to 24 hours to develop. All chemical workers are trained to never breath-in these vapours and, if there is a danger of exposure, they wear breathing apparatus.
At certain discharge installations nitrogen is used to empty the container. Nitrogen is an asphyxiating gas and the lack of oxygen is not mitigated by using a gasmask filter.
As diisocyanates react with moist from the atmosphere, the opening of the manlids will, in addition to the above health effects, have a negative effect on the inside of the container and ultimately will result in more frequent cleaning with a negative impact on the environment.
Any entry into the tank, such as for an inspection, must not be done without proper protective equipment, which, as a minimum, consists of breathing apparatus, long sleeves and gloves. Please consult the supplier’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before opening the tank.
There is always a risk that the tank is under pressure either because of the discharge or because of the reaction of the diisocyanate with moisture. Only a slight overpressure could result in serious injuries. Therefore, always depressurise the tank before opening the manlid.
Any opening of the manlids or entry, with or without proper protective equipment, is the responsibility of the person doing so. Neither the supplier of the diisocyanate or the owner of the tanker will take the responsibility for any health effects nor damage occurred by entering the tank. Yours Faithfully
ISOPA Secretary General

Security en Route
What to do & not to do:
Do not leave the vehicle unlocked Do not disclose information about product carried,
customer, route or destination
Park preferably on secure parking areas
Information on customer, route or destination – if in the wrong hands – may enable others to plan undesired action.
35
Version March 2012 35
Heating
All methods: Maximum product contact temperature
= 60°C Do-not-open-the-manlid
Steam: Only external steam coils Maximum 1.7 bar (= ~ 115 °C)
For this reason the application of the do-not-open-the manlid sticker is critical. Also the heating itself needs to be done slowly.The maximum product contact temperature is 60°C.For that reason - if steam is used - a maximum steam pressure of 1.7 bar ( which produces condensate at 115°C) is to be used.For steam only external heating coils are allowed to eliminate the risk of steam leaking into the product (water will react with TDI / MDI).Overheating of TDI will cause trimerisation (a reaction of 3 TDI molecules combining).This trimerisation is "exothermic" ( the reaction produces heat).This will ultimately lead to the production of CO2 (carbon dioxide), and therefore pressure increase which possibly leads to tank rupture.A similar dimerisation reaction of MDI will also produce CO2.

Unloading: Key Points (1)
Follow site regulations
Behaviour You are the supplier’s representative
Know the operational responsibilities between operator and driver as described in the CEFIC / ECTA Behaviour Based Safety Guidelines
Report unsafe conditions at customers (including near misses)
Behaviour / Site Regulations
Behave as a guest and remember you are the supplier’s representative!
Follow all site (safety) instructions and ensure there is a mutual understanding of the discharge process between you and the operator.
In case of a dispute, contact your planning department and do not start unloading.
Unsafe conditions at a customer must be reported.
Try to avoid sampling from the tanker by explaining to the customer that your company does not allow you to do this, but if still required to do so: contact your planning department. Sampling is regarded to be a high risk operation!
37
Version March 2012 37
Storage tank capacity• communication driver / operator
PPE must be worn
Observe connections, pressure during unloading
Samples(Report back if you have to take a sample)
Unloading methods(Details on next slides)
Unloading: Key Points (2)
Pressure Discharge:Towards the end of the discharge reduce the pressure to avoid a pressurised tank when in transit and before next loading. Of course it is dependant on physical circumstances at the various customer sites whether this can be achieved. Ideally, the pressure after discharge should be roughly the same as before!
PPEAlways wear your PPE with a minimum of hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, gloves & overall. In case of TDI: wear full face mask during (dis)connecting.

Discharge methods are shown in decreasing order of preference.1.Customer liquid pump and vapour return2.Customer nitrogen or dry air3.Vehicle compressor
Hoses should preferably be available at the customer’s site.
Discharge with a compressor, even with a silica gel filter, will introduce moist in the tank.
Isocyanates + water Solids in the next delivery
As a hydroscopic substance, silica gel is supposed to dry the air which is passing through a silica gel filter. However, due to the fact that:• the total quantity of ambient air required for a pressure discharge is passing through at a high speed, and• compressed air from the vehicle compressor is likely to become very hot, and• heat is used to regenerate used silica gel crystals,
the useful (drying) effect of silica gel filters on transport tanks is at least very doubtful.

Near Misses & Unsafe Conditions
Iceberg Theory
Near misses & Unsafe conditions
Incidents
Active Near Miss reporting will reduce / avoid serious incidents.Iceberg theoryResearch showed that there is a relation between serious incidents, less serious incidents, incidents with only material damage and near misses.
An active near miss reporting and follow up allows appropriate action and will reduce / avoid the more serious incidents.
Near Miss definition:A near miss is a situation with potential consequences in the area of safety, health, environment or business continuity in which a conscious action of recovery OR LUCK has prevented damage or injury.
1. Serious incidents
2. Less serious incidents
3. Incidents with only material damage

Near misses and unsafe conditions Reporting examples
Active near miss reporting will reduce / avoid serious incidents: Road traffic incidents Equipment failures Incorrect human behaviour Overflows Overpressure Spills Unexpected temperature rise (check regularly!) Unsafe working conditions (missing safety shower etc.) Unsecure routing
Regular temperature checks are of vital importance, but always check when stopping for a meal or rest period!Unexpected temperature rise may occur as a result of polymerisation, or contamination with water. Always report this to the planning department, who must consult the supplier immediately!
Unsecure routing: keep to motorways / highways if possible and avoid residential areas where possible.

Version March 2012 47
Incidents
So THIS is your Challenge: You are the most important
safety factor
Statistics indicate: More than 80% of all incidents are related to human behaviour
Most incidents and accidents occur during loading & unloading
(OR you will be the most important risk factor !)
Most incidents and accidents occur during loading or unloading!
However, as explained, isocyanates can be handled safely; programmes such as this training will help in the safe transport of these chemicals.

Emergency ResponseKnow First Aid for MDI /TDI
48
Force open the eyelids Flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes If in doubt, keep flushing See eye specialist as soon as possible
Immediately remove contaminated clothing Immediately wash, wash,
wash with soap & water
Go outside into fresh air Doctor must be called or patient taken to
medical facility Inform supplier – who can provide
supporting information
Some important First Aid tips If there is any suspicion that MDI/TDI has got into your colleagues eyes flush with water. The flushing with water will not be pleasant but continue for 15 minutes. The alternative is much worse. An eye specialist MUST be consulted. If MDI/TDI has got to your or a colleague’s skin – wash the area many times with soap and waterFresh air helps recovery. The patient/victim must see a doctor. The doctor should be knowledgeable about MDI/TDI effects but more information to help the doctor can be obtained from your MDI/TDI supplier. Is your local doctor knowledgeable about MDI/TDI?
