of Roofers, Waterproofers, and Allied Workers (UURWAW). The purpose
of the document is 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. |
