locations you have noted are appropriate for insertion of the asbestos
fiber cautions. Ve believe these cautions should consist of language
similar to the following:
.
CAUTION:
Oust and dirt present on brake assemblies and drums my
contain asbestos fibers that can represent a potential health hazard vben mds airborne by cleaning with com pressed air. Brahe assemblies and drums should therefore be cleaned only with a vacuum cleaner euitabls for use with asbeBtoe fibers. This type of vacuum is available through the Rotunda Dealer Equipment Catalog. Dust and dirt from the vacuum should be disposed of in a Banner that prevents
dust exposure.
Any ochining done on brain linings or pads should, be done yn-tng properly exhaust ventilated equipment.
Further information on asbestos fiber control can be
obtained from the Federal Register May 28, 1975, Occupational
Safety and Health Standards Section 1910-1001..
This project should also be coordinated with A. N. Updegrove, Supervisor, Rotunia Evaluation. Mr. Updegrove's personnel have been involved in marketing a vacuum cleaner suitable for use on asbestos fiber laden material.
