Recently at work we had a farrier awards day for the apprentices who are taking part in a four year study to complete their apprenticeship. There is much signage up at work and I saw the website for Kerckhaert on one of the advertisements. They are a producer of horseshoes.
As I checked out their website, I stumbled across some recent news on the site, promoting getting your PU certificate. Now, although I know my horse regularly needed a farrier – and all horses do! – I am rather ignorant in the area of tools farriers may use, equipment to treat feet or create extensions for limb deformities or even glue for cracked hooves! It seems the industry has come a long way in what they will now use to correct problems or help alleviate lameness and unsoundness.
Published back in April of this year, is an article on the Kerckhaert website about mandatory PU Certificates within Europe. As it says in the article:
As of 24 August 2023, as a user of two-component urethane adhesives in the European Union, you will be required to have a PU certificate. This regulation is mandatory for anyone working with products that have a total concentration of monomer diisocyanate above 0.1%. This means that users of Vettec must also complete a training to get this certificate.”What really caught my attention on the site though, was the chance to undertake this training for free! I’m always curious to check out different horses businesses, services and/or products!
So if this applies to you, is of interest or you know of someone who would benefit from this free (mandatory) training within the industry in Europe, I encourage you to read up on it. Head along to https://info.kerckhaert.com/pu-certificate for further details.
