Asphalt Production
The most cited OSHA violation in the Asphalt Production Industry during the past year was for Control of Hazardous Energy. CCI can provide Lock Out/Tag Out programs for your plant and provide training in proper Lock Out/Tag Out procedures for your employees.
Another common citation in this industry revolves around Powered Industrial Trucks, such as front–end loaders and forklifts. Equipment inspections and training of proper equipment use could be valuable to your production plant.
Asphalt silos present a number of safety hazards to employees. Chemicals and vapors inside hot liquid asphalt tanks and dust inside aggregate silos and bins can be particularly hazardous to their health. CCI offers Chemical & Particulate Air Monitoring to determine if levels are hazardous. We can also provide a complete Respiratory Protection Program along with respiratory fit testing to keep your employees safe. Some silos are also considered confined spaces and require a Confined Space Program. Again, we can train employees on the proper procedures to follow when entering these spaces.
CCI can provide quarterly onsite safety inspections of your plant to ensure safety hazards are resolved properly throughout the year. We can also provide you with the proper warning and chemical awareness signage needed at your plant.
Environmental services that may be of use to the asphalt industry include Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plans and Community Right–to–Know Reporting. These services are needed when certain quantities of hazardous chemicals are present at your asphalt plant.
