Purpose: NIOSH is planning to convene a meeting to discuss the
scientific and technical issues relevant to the development of
recommendations for controlling occupational exposures to asphalt
during asphalt roofing operations.
NIOSH is convening a panel of individuals knowledgeable of the
potential health effects and of current control technologies of asphalt
exposure. The panel will be asked to prescribe the types of remedial
action (e.g., engineering controls, exposure limit) that may be needed
to protect workers' health. The goal of the meeting is to seek the
widespread support of the participants in identifying and resolving
issues relevant to reducing exposure to asphalt. However, NIOSH retains
the responsibility for developing the conclusions and recommendations
in the final document. The public is invited to attend and comment on
the deliberations of this meeting.
