Details
Essential reading for all those with responsibility for the design, construction, operation, inspection, and maintenance of bitumen handling installations, both in the manufacturing, blending, storage and distribution sectors, but also in the user sector of the bitumen industry.
The Bitumen safety code provides good health, safety and environmental protection practice, rather than a set of rigid rules, for the whole product life cycle of manufacture, blending, storage, distribution, handling, use and sampling.
The 4th edition follows a comprehensive review of all sections, and accounts for the introduction of new bitumen specifications. It provides improved guidance on health management, in particular hazards, exposure mechanisms, generic inhalation exposure data, control measures and recovery strategies. It also takes account of the implications of the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations, in particular, the control of flammable atmospheres, sources of ignition and foreseeable fire scenarios. One notable addition is a new chapter on environmental protection, given its greater prominence.
For the user sector of the bitumen industry, the updated Code provides enhanced guidance on the requirements for the safe delivery of bitumen products to customer sites and improved guidance on product handling and use such as with mobile heating kettle operations, roofing applications, and asphalt manufacture and use.
