One of the elements identified as a potentially harmful product is asbestos, commonly used in the composition of brake linings. As a manufacturer of brake linings and disc pads we make every to keep the workplace for ourworkers as free of aabaatoa emissions as possible. The responsibility does not end here however. Our The Friction Materials Standards Institute, which is an association of the brake lining manufacturers, has published e Work Practices Guide. It is aimed at the brake shops and any other areas where the workers ere engaged in handling, grinding, etc., brake linings, disc pads and clutch facings. The feast amount of grinding you and your customers do, greatly helps reduce the amount of asbeetos emissions in the environment We believe it is a fine publication and it carries vital message. As a matter of fact we will be incorporating it into our brake dinic propram, Aftar reviewing she enclosed copy, give consideration to distributing the booklets to your customers. Determine your requirements and let us know your needs. These booklets cost us approximately 10 cents each, however, we ere happy to supply reasonable quantities without ehsrge.
