NIOSH
Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2005-149
Exposure limits, Respirator Recommendations, First Aid, more...
The Pocket Guide is a source of general industrial hygiene information on several
hundred chemicals/classes found in the work environment. Key data provided for
each chemical/substance includes name (including synonyms/trade names), structure/formula,
CAS/RTECS numbers, DOT ID, conversion factors, exposure limits, IDLH, chemical
and physical properties, measurement methods, personal protection, respirator
recommendations, symptoms, and first aid.

International Chemical Safety Cards
An ICSC summarizes essential health and safety information on chemicals for their use at the "shop floor" level by workers and employers in factories, agriculture, construction and other work places.
Reducing
Roofers' Exposure to Asphalt Fumes
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2003-107 (September 2003)
This guide is for roofers and contractors who work with hot asphalt on roofs.
The guide lists steps for reducing exposure to asphalt fumes.
Asphalt Fume Exposures During the Application of Hot Asphalt to Roofs
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2003-112 (June 2003)
This document represents a collaborative effort of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the National Roofing Contractors
Association (NRCA), the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA),
the Asphalt Institute (AI), and the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers,
and Allied Workers (UURWAW) to reduce worker exposures to asphalt fumes
during the application of hot asphalt to roofs. The document describes the
application of hot asphalt to roofs, identifies steps in the process that
may involve worker exposure to asphalt fumes, and identifies current engineering
controls and work practices used to reduce exposures.
Asphalt Fume Exposures During the
Manufacture of Asphalt Roofing Products
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2001-127 (August 2001)
This document represents the collaborative efforts of industry, labor, and
government to protect the health of workers exposed to asphalt fumes during
the manufacture of asphalt roofing products. Current engineering controls
and work practices are presented for reducing worker exposures to asphalt
fumes during the manufacturing process.
Hazard Review: Health Effects of
Occupational Exposure to Asphalt
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2001-110 (December 2000)
This document is an evaluation of the health effects and other relevant
data that have become available since publication of the 1977 NIOSH document
Criteria for a Recommended Standard: Occupational
Exposure to Asphalt Fumes. It includes an assessment of chemistry, health,
and exposure data from studies in animals and humans exposed to raw asphalt,
paving and roofing asphalt-fume condensates, and asphalt-based paints. Most
important, the document serves as a basis for identifying future research
to reduce occupational exposures to asphalt.
Engineering Control Guidelines for Hot Mix Asphalt Pavers
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 97-105 (January 1997)
These guidelines originate from a collaborative effort by industry, government,
and labor to develop and implement engineering controls for the asphalt
paving industry
