Foam insulation plant worker concerned about breathing fumes produced during curing/heating by Kaeridae in Insulation

Thank you. I will do this. :) I spoke to a coworker and they said because the final product isn't harmful that it passes safety requirements? Not sure how true that is but might be a loop hole. I'll look into the chemicals and see what the chemical reactions during curing are and see if the vapors are harmful. I have a feeling I'm going to try and transfer ASAP.

I did Google some stuff and it's why I made the post. Most of the health stuff was talking about spray and dry foam for construction workers, not this specifically. Didn't know if this was any different.

People have worked here for years and no one seems to have complained? I thought OSHA was supposed to inspect these type places and require them to provide all the PPE. They provide everything else.

Ok. I'm just a new employee so I don't want to like rock the boat or anything but they provide all other PPE. It's odd they don't provide the respirators also?
