The Asphalt Institute promotes petroleum asphalt as a safe and environmentally friendly construction material for highways, streets and roofing systems through a program of scientific research and technological developments. The HSE committee works closely with Eurobitume, the European association of bitumen producers based in Brussels, Belgium to collaborate on health and safety issues that have a global scope.
