TO: SAFETY MANAGERS, VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MANAGERS, AUTO AND DIESEL MECHANICS RE: U.S. EPA and OSHA REGULATIONS REGARDING ASBESTOS EXPOSURE IN AUTO SHOPS The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Asbestos Action Program, recommends the use of vacuum-enclosure systems as the safest means of preventing exposure to hazardous asbestos dust while servicing or repairing vehicle brakes. The U.S. EPA document "Guidance for Preventing Asbestos Disease Among Auto Mechanics" * reinforces the new tougher Federal OSHA asbestos standard which became law July 21, 1986. Both agencies recognize that there is no safe limit; only legal limits for asbestos exposure. Currently, if your maintenance facility is repairing brakes, are all repairs performed using a vacuum enclosure system which meets these specifications? If not, CLAYTON can provide you with the solution for preventing asbestos exposure during brake repair. CLAYTON is PROUD TO BE THE ONLY MANUFACTURER of HEPA Vacuum Enclosure Brake Cleaning Equipment THAT MEETS AND EXCEEDS U.S. EPA AND OSHA REGULATIONS. *A free copy of the U.S. EPA document is enclosed.
