Isopa: New driver training platform for diisocyanates transporters

On 1 December 2021, Isopa – the European trade association for producers of diisocyanates and polyols – launched a new platform to train drivers for the safe transportation of diisocyanates in Europe.

According to the association, this industry initiative, targeted at diisocyanates transport companies collaborating with Isopa member companies, contains an update of the training material with new slides and videos, a digitalszation of registrations, and an automatisation of the certification process.

The safe loading, transportation and unloading of diisocyanates is of paramount importance for Isopa and its transportation partners. In 20 years, more than 10,000 drivers have been certified after following the Isopa Driver Training. Today, the system has been improved to satisfy the highest safety standards and regulatory developments, but also to digitalise and automate the process.

The new platform offers new options and gives greater autonomy for trainers and administrators to manage the training and the certification of their drivers:

• The new training package includes new content in eleven languages, including videos.
• Trainers and administrators can now manage their drivers’ profiles, add or remove them from the database, invite them to trainings and tests, and validate their certificates.
• The tests to obtain a driver certificate are available online in eleven languages and can be completed on a smartphone or a computer. After the test is successfully taken, a certificate with a QR code is automatically sent to the driver. The new certificate will progressively replace the existing cards, which will remain valid until their expiry date.
• Certification checks are now possible directly at every (un)loading station with the QR code.

Companies interested in organising trainings for their drivers and certifying them can contact Isopa or its member companies directly.
