FSK kicks off the year with new course schedules and proven training system // Successful year 2023 – FSK meets the needs of a wide range of industry participants with its flexible offering // Training demand among users remains high – despite restrictions since August 2023

"The demand for training courses remains high this year," says Klaus Junginger, Managing Director of the Fachverband Schaumkunststoffe und Polyurethane e.V. (FSK - Specialist Association Foamed Plastics and Polyurethanes). The safe handling of diisocyanates should have been clear to all users and distributors of the substance since last August. Since then, handling diisocyanates without appropriate training has been prohibited. Nevertheless, industry experts estimate that to date, at most around a third of those required to undergo training have the legally required training certificate. Junginger emphasises: "Construction site closures and delivery stops in recent months show that the pressure from the authorities and manufacturers is growing - for all affected industries from A for automotive to Z for dentistry." The association therefore continues to process new enquiries on a daily basis.
