Labor Subtitle B. Regulations Relating to Labor Chapter XVII. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Department o f Labor "l Part 1910. Occupational Safety and Health Standards (Refs & Annos) II Subpart Z. Toxic and Hazardous Substances (Refs & Annos) Appendix F to 19.10.1001-Work Practices and Engineering Controls for. Automotive Brake and Clutch Inspection, Disassembly, Repair and Assembly-M andatory This mandatory appendix specifies engineering controls and work practices that must be implemented by the employer during automotive brake and clutch inspection, disassembly, repair, and assembly operations. Proper use o f these engineering controls and work practices by trained employees will ------ ieduce-employees'-asbestos_exposure_below_the_ permissible exposure level during clutch and, brake inspection, disassembly, repair, and assembly operations. The employer shall institute engineering controls and work practices using either the method set forth in paragraph [A] or paragraph [B] o f Uns appendix, or any other method which the employer can demonstrate to be equivalent in terms o f reducing employee exposure to asbestos as defined and which meets the requirements described in paragraph [C] of this appendix, for those facilities in 'which no more than 5 pairs of brakes or 5 clutches are inspected, disassembled, reassembled and/or repaired per week,, the method set forth in paragraph [D] o f this appendix may be used: [A] Negative Pressure Enclosure/HEPA Vacuum System Method ' (1) The brake and clutch inspection, disassembly, repair, and assembly operations shall be enclosed to cover and contain the clutch or brake assembly and to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the worker's breathing zone. (2) The enclosure shall be sealed tightly and thoroughly inspected for leaks before work begins on brake and clutch inspection, disassembly, repair, and assembly. (3) Th enclosure shall be such that the worker can clearly see the operation and shall provide impermeable sleeves through which the worker can handle the brake and clutch inspection, disassembly, repair and assembly. The integrity o f the sleeves and. ports shall be examined before work begins. (4) A HEPA-filtered vacuum shall be employed to maintain the enclosure under negative pressure throughout the operation. Compressed-air may be used to remove asbestos fibers or particles from the enclosure. (5) The HEPA vacuum shall be used first to loosen the asbestos containing residue from die brake and clutch parts and then to evacuate the loosened asbestos containing material from the enclosure and capture the material in the vacuum filter. (6) The vacuum's filter, when full, shall be first wetted with a fine mist o f water, then removed and placed immediately in an impermeable container, labeled according to paragraph (j)(4) o f this section and disposed of according to paragraph (k) o f this section. (7) Any spills or releases o f asbestos containing waste material from inside of the enclosure or vacuum hose or vacuum filter shall be immediately cleaned up and disposed of according to paragraph (k) o f this section. 2006 Thomson/West.

(2) The reservoir shall contain water containing an organic solvent or wetting agent The flow of liquid shall be controlled such that the brake assembly is gently flooded to prevent the asbestos-containing brake dust from becoming airborne. (3) The aqueous solution shall be allowed to flow between the brake drum and brake support before the drum is removed. (4) After removing the brake drum, the wheel hub and back o f the brake assembly shall be thoroughly wetted to suppress dust. (5) The brake support plate, brake shoes and brake components used to attach die brake shoes shall be thoroughly washed before removing the old shoes. (6) In systems using filters, the filters, when full, shall be first wetted with a fine mist of water, then removed and placed immediately in an impermeable container, labeled according to paragraph (j)(4) of this section and disposed of according to paragraph (k) o f this section. (7) Any spills o f asbestos-containing aqueous solution or any asbestos-containing waste material shall be cleaned up immediately and disposed o f according to paragraph (k) o f this section. (8) The use o f dry brushing during low pressure/wet cleaning operations is prohibited. [C] Equivalent Methods An equivalent method is one which has sufficient written detail so that it can be reproduced and has been demonstrated that the exposures resulting from the equivalent method are equal to or less than the exposures which would result from the use of the method described in paragraph [A] of this appendix. For purposes of making this comparison, the employer shall assume that exposures resulting from the use of the method described in paragraph [A] of this appendix'shall not exceed 0.016 free, as measured by the OSHA reference method and as averaged over at least 18 personal samples. [D] Wet Method. (1) A spray bottle, hose nozzle, or other implement capable of delivering a fine mist of water or amended water or other delivery system capable o f delivering water at low pressure, shall be used to first thoroughly wet the brake and clutch parts. Brake arid clutch components shall then be wiped clean with a cloth. (2) The cloth shall be placed in an impermeable container, labelled according to paragraph (j)(4) of this section and then disposed of according to paragraph (k) o f this section, or the cloth shall be laundered in a way to prevent the release of asbestos fibers in excess o f 0.1 fiber per cubic centimeter of air. (3) Any spills of solvent or any asbestos containing waste material shall be cleaned up immediately according to paragraph (k) o f this section. (4) The use o f dry brushing during the wet method operations is prohibited. [39 FR 23502, June 27, 1974.
