BP is committed to Health and Safety
The health and safety of our employees and of those who come into contact with our operations and products is one of our highest priorities: our goal is clear – no accidents and no harm to people.The health and safety of you, your workforce, our team and the community at large is the number one priority at BP Bitumen. Front-line members of the BP Bitumen team are specifically trained in all aspects of the safe delivery, storage and handling of bitumen products. We go further than this and offer a comprehensive range of health, safety and environmental information and a commitment to work with our customers to improve awareness.
DVD "SafetyFirst"
We learned from Near Misses and incidents that the incorrect handling of bitumen can lead to severe accidents, putting health and life of the people involved at risk.Bitumen itself is not classified as hazardous material and is therefore often not considered to be dangerous – a big mistake! The typical handling temperature of around 180 °C alone does pose a threat to everybody dealing with bitumen. On this account we are launching our SafetyFirst programme which aims to achieve improved safety performance at load locations and asphalt mixing plants.
The initiative is based on a DVD which provides some best in class industry practices to help everybody in the industry to better understand some of the main hazards associated with bitumen storage and handling.
Please find more information about the initiative.
