Meeting

    Name: Scientific and Technical Meeting on Occupational Exposure to 
Asphalt During Roofing Operations.
    Times and Dates: 1 p.m.-5 p.m., July 22, 1996; 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.,

    Status: Open to the public, limited only by the space available. 
The meeting room accommodates approximately 250 people.
    Purpose: NIOSH is planning to convene a meeting to discuss the 
scientific and technical issues relevant to the development of 
recommendations for controlling occupational exposures to asphalt 
during asphalt roofing operations.
    NIOSH is convening a panel of individuals knowledgeable of the 
potential health effects and of current control technologies of asphalt 
exposure. The panel will be asked to prescribe the types of remedial 
action (e.g., engineering controls, exposure limit) that may be needed 
to protect workers' health. The goal of the meeting is to seek the 
widespread support of the participants in identifying and resolving 
issues relevant to reducing exposure to asphalt. However, NIOSH retains 
the responsibility for developing the conclusions and recommendations 
in the final document. The public is invited to attend and comment on 
the deliberations of this meeting.
