The ACC OSHA Alliance is promoting the National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction week, which is May 1-5. The ACC OSHA Alliance provides members, workers, and stakeholders within the polyurethanes value chain with information, guidance, and access to training resources to help protect the health and safety of workers handling diisocyanates. This educational week, celebrating its 10th year, encourages employers to review their respective workplace safety fall protection guidelines and discuss workplace safety with their employees.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is investing $350 million in grants, technical assistance, and tools as part of its effort to reduce the embodied greenhouse gas emissions of construction materials and products.

Join this webinar to hear from the EPA directly about the ideas discussed thus far and share your perspective and comments on behalf of the insulation industry.
