While Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC
does not off er asbestos brake linings, the long-term
aff ects of some non-asbestos fi bers have not been
determined. Current Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) Regulations cover exposure
levels to some components of non-asbestos linings,
but not all. The following precautions must be used
when handling these materials.
Avoid creating dust. Compressed air or dry brushing
must never be used for cleaning brake assemblies
or the work area.
▲ Bendix recommends that workers doing brake
work must take steps to minimize exposure
to airborne brake lining particles. Proper
procedures to reduce exposure include working
in a well-ventilated area, segregation of areas
where brake work is done, use of local fi ltered
ventilation systems or use of enclosed cells with
fi ltered vacuums. Respirators approved by the
Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
or National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health (NIOSH) should be worn at all times
during brake servicing.
▲ Workers must wash before eating, drinking, or
smoking; shower after working, and should not
wear work clothes home. Work clothes should
be vacuumed and laundered separately without
shaking.
▲ OSHA & EPA Regulations regarding testing,
disposal of waste, and methods of reducing
exposure for asbestos are set forth in 29 &
40 Code of Federal Regulations §1910.1001 &
61.150, respectively. These Regulations provide
valuable information which can be utilized to
reduce exposure to airborne particles.
