Management systems

Certified standards. Visible commitment.

Quality, environmental and occupational safety systems support consistent production and responsible operations.

Safe handling

Temperature, control and training.

Our minimum controls cover storage, heating, transport, loading and unloading of drum and hot-bulk bitumen. Product-specific SDS requirements remain essential for every shipment.

Packaged bitumen storage yard
01

Storage controls

Identified tanks or sealed drums, temperature monitoring, reliable level gauging, ventilation and spill containment.

02

Water prevention

Tanks, hoses and vehicles must be completely dry before hot bitumen is introduced to prevent boil-over.

03

Loading & transport

Trained teams, compatible equipment, safe exclusion zones, secure connections and continuous transfer monitoring.

04

Emergency readiness

H₂S monitoring, eyewash and shower access, suitable fire systems, drain protection and clear response procedures.

Hot bitumen burn: cool immediately with clean running water for at least 20 minutes. Do not use ice or remove adhered bitumen.
