Exposure to asbestos during brake maintenance
21
introduction of "flow-line" servicing at Dealers works, in which one individual may be engaged almost entirely on brake servicing, emphasises this point.
Our environmental studies have not included maintenance procedures which in volve the filing or grinding of brake lining material, and we would envisage that these would give rise to considerably increased air contamination by chrysotile asbestos, with the attendant need for strict precautions to prevent the in&alation of fibres.
