Key Hazards
- Skin contact with uncured foam
- Pressure bursts
- Clogged nozzles causing misfires
2–3 Minute Talk Script
Safe use of foam dispensers is important for construction, insulation, and sealing work. Expanding foam adheres to skin and surfaces quickly.
Workers should apply foam slowly and avoid overfilling gaps.
Different foams expand at different rates; knowing expansion levels helps prevent excess pressure.
Cleaning nozzles after use keeps the dispenser working properly.
Safety Reminders
- Wear gloves when handling foam.
- Apply slowly and carefully.
- Understand expansion rates.
- Clean nozzles after use.
Ask the Crew
- Do we need low-expansion or high-expansion foam?
- Are gloves available for everyone?
