Asphalt Safety

Asphalt paving crews keep our roads and highways in service, working with hot mix that binds and seals the surfaces we all rely on. It is also some of the most dangerous work on any site, where hot material that burns on contact, harmful fumes and silica dust, live traffic, moving equipment, and extreme heat all converge in one small space. Skipping safe procedures or misjudging a single hazard can lead to severe burns, respiratory disease, or a fatal struck-by incident. This course prepares Canadian asphalt workers to recognize and control these risks, covering thermal burns and first aid, respiratory hazards, struck-by dangers, heat stress, personal protective equipment, safe work practices, and emergency response.

About This Course

Asphalt paving is one of the most demanding jobs on any Canadian worksite. Crews work with material hotter than 135 degrees Celsius, breathe fumes rising off the mat, and move on foot just steps away from heavy rollers, pavers, and live public traffic, often under the summer sun. Each hazard is serious on its own, and together they make asphalt work uniquely dangerous. This course looks at how to recognize those risks before they reach you and how to control them.

By the end of this course, you should be able to:
  • Describe the main hazards of working with and around hot asphalt
  • Explain how to recognize and respond to an asphalt burn
  • Identify the health effects of asphalt fumes and silica dust
  • Recognize struck-by hazards in a road work zone
  • Describe the signs of heat stress and how to prevent it
  • Identify the personal protective equipment needed for asphalt work
  • List safe work practices that protect you and your crew

Is there a time limit for online courses?

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.

How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?

When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
