O.S.H.A. 29 CFR 1910, et al., Compliance
To the extent an individual erroneously utilizes this
machine with an asbestos containing product, strict
compliance with the Occupational Safety & Health
(“OSHA”) Standard Regulation 29 CFR 1910, et al., is
mandatory.
Protective Clothing. For any individual that is exposed
to airborne concentrations of asbestos that exceed the
Occupational Safety & Health Administration (“OSHA”)
permissible exposure level, the individual must use
protective clothing such as coveralls or similar full-
body clothing, head coverings, gloves, respirators, and
foot covering. Wherever the possibility of eye irritation
exists, face shields, vented goggles, or other appropri-
ate protective equipment must be provided and worn.
Always use the brake washer in compliance with
O.S.H.A. 29 CFR 1910, et al., regulations:
1. Place the catch basin or catch tray under the brake
assembly, positioned to avoid splashes and spills.
2. Use our Aqueous degreaser to wet or flood the
brake assembly gently, to prevent the asbestos
containing brake dust from becoming airborne.
3. Allow the Aqueous degreaser to flow between the
brake drum and brake support before the drum is
removed.
4. After removing the brake drum, thoroughly wet the
wheel hub and back of the brake assembly to sup-
press the dust.
5. Thoroughly wash the brake support plate, brake
shoes and brake components used to attach the
brake shoes before removing the old shoes.
6. Be sure to clean up your spills of Aqueous degreaser
immediately and dispose of according to all Local,
State, and Federal regulations.
7. Never dry brush. Always make sure that you wet
the brake assembly before any work begins.
