Safety & Compliance Information
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Bitumen Products
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a mandatory document that must be provided by the supplier before any international shipment, especially for substances classified as hazardous, such as Caustic Soda or other chemical-based materials.
These goods must be packed in compliant containers and kept separate from sensitive cargo, particularly food items, to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
At Bernet Bitumen, we issue MSDS for all our petrochemical and bituminous products to support safe handling, transport, and adherence to global safety standards.
What MSDS Covers
An MSDS provides detailed safety and regulatory information that helps shipping agents, logistics companies, and end users handle materials correctly.
It outlines critical data including:
- Potential hazards and risk classification
- Chemical composition and physical properties
- Storage and handling guidelines
- First aid measures and fire safety procedures
This ensures that all personnel involved in handling or transporting bitumen are aware of potential hazards and the correct safety protocols.
Regulatory Background and Compliance
The CHIP Regulation (Chemical Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) supports risk assessments under COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health), both of which are key frameworks that ensure chemical safety for workers and the environment.
By following these international guidelines, Bernet Bitumen maintains full compliance with global transport and safety regulations, ensuring that our MSDS aligns with international requirements for hazardous materials documentation.
Supplier Responsibility
⚠️ The supplier is responsible for providing the correct and updated MSDS to both the shipping line and the end customer before cargo loading.
This step is crucial for ensuring that all parties involved in the supply chain have access to accurate safety and handling information.
