Eurobitume operates three expert committees:

  • Health, Safety and the Environment (HSE)
  • Technical
  • Communications (PRC)

Each is dedicated to intensive programmes, to provide guidance and support for members and their customers. These committees research the scientific and technical issues relating to the handling, application and long-term use of bitumen. They produce relevant data for regulators, along with expert advice and practical guidelines to inform best practice throughout the European bitumen industry.

  • Bitumen and occupational hazard

    Bitumen in service (in the road, on the roof, ... ) is an inert material and represents no hazard to human health. During its storage, transportation and application it is heated to high temperatures so, for those working with bitumen, hazards do exist, although these can be easily managed.

    “Hazard” and “Risk” have very different meanings. See how they differ here.

  • Two new leaflets available

    Two new leaflets have been produced and made their debut at E&E 2012.

    'Move forward with confidence' and 'Working with confidence' provide an introduction to Eurobitume and highlight the health, safety and environmental information available on the Eurobitume website.

    To view a page-turning PDF of either leaflet please click on the leaflet name above.
