Safety Precautions for High-Temperature Asphalt Jobs
Working with high-temperature asphalt presents occupational hazards that intensify during seasonal heatwaves or in consistently hot climates. Whether on roadway paving projects or roofing applications, the combination of heated materials, radiant sun exposure, and reflective surfaces can quickly create dangerous working conditions. Asphalt must be kept at elevated temperatures, often between 140 °C and 170 °C (284 °F to 338 °F), to remain workable. [...]
