  • 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.
