The roofing industry makes use of bitumen to build and repair roofs of residential and commercial structures. It is therefore necessary to transport the material over roadways and into residential and light commercial areas within cities. This is oftentimes accomplished by hauling the material behind trucks in large tankers that often have capacities of a few thousand gal. The material is flammable however and emits toxic and flammable off‐gases as it ages. As such, the storage, handling, transportation, and use of this material is inherently hazardous and these road portable tankers present a hazard not only to the companies and employees that use them, but also to the communities and businesses the companies serve.
