4.1.2
When repair operations are complete, if the pipe must be reinstated, asbestos
containing products are not to be used for two reasons: (a) cutting and fitting of asbestos-containing insulation can generate significant amounts of airborne asbestos fiber even though it cannot be seen, and (b) asbestos may be banned from use completely except where suitable substitutes are not available.
4.1.9
Currently, there is not any one material on the market which can be substituted for asbestos in all of its applications. It is expected that manufacturers will produce substitute materials. There are insulation substitutes currently on the market and some are listed in "Mechanical Design and Equipment Standards" (Plant Engineering Office, Manufacturing Staff, Page M4-1, January 1976).
Typical substitutes are listed below:

4.2 Brake and Clutch Repair
Brake and clutch mechanisms on vehicles, presses and cranes utilize asbestos friction materials. Exposure to asbestos dust in the air can occur during inspection and repair operations especially if compressed air is used to blow off debris. To minimize the potential for employe exposure, the following work practices must be adhered to:
