Material Safety Data Sheets are non-asbestos fiber dust, a cancer and lung disease hazard. Material Safety Data available from ArvinMeritor. Sheets are available from ArvinMeritor. Hazard Summary Hazard Summary Because some brake linings contain asbestos, workers who service brakes must understand the Most recently manufactured brake linings do not contain asbestos fibers. These brake linings may potential hazards of asbestos and precautions for reducing risks. Exposure to airborne asbestos contain one or more of a variety of ingredients, including glass fibers, mineral wool, aramid fibers, dust can cause serious and possibly fatal diseases, including asbestosis (a chronic lung disease) ceramic fibers and silica that can present health risks if inhaled. Scientists disagree on the extent and cancer, principally lung cancer and mesothelioma (a cancer of the lining of the chest or of the risks from exposure to these substances. Nonetheless, exposure to silica dust can cause abdominal cavities). Some studies show that the risk of lung cancer among persons who smoke silicosis, a non-cancerous lung disease. Silicosis gradually reduces lung capacity and efficiency and who are exposed to asbestos is much greater than the risk for non-smokers. Symptoms of and can result in serious breathing difficulty. Some scientists believe other types of non-asbestos these diseases may not become apparent for 15, 20 or more years after the first exposure to fibers, when inhaled, can cause similar diseases of the lung. In addition, silica dust and ceramic asbestos. fiber dust are known to the State of California to cause lung cancer. U.S. and international Accordingly, workers must use caution to avoid creating and breathing dust when servicing agencies have also determined that dust from mineral wool, ceramic fibers and silica are potential brakes. Specific recommended work practices for reducing exposure to asbestos dust follow. causes of cancer. Consult your employer for more details. Accordingly, workers must use caution to avoid creating and breathing dust when servicing brakes. Specific recommended work practices for reducing exposure to Recommended Work Practices non-asbestos dust follow. Consult your employer for more details. 1. Separate Work Areas. Whenever feasible, service brakes in a separate area away from other Recommended Work Practices operations to reduce risks to unprotected persons. OSHA has set a maximum allowable level of exposure for asbestos of 0.1 f/cc as an 8-hour time-weighted average and 1.0 f/cc averaged over 1. Separate Work Areas. Whenever feasible, service brakes in a separate area away from other a 30-minute period. Scientists disagree, however, to what extent adherence to the maximum operations to reduce risks to unprotected persons. allowable exposure levels will eliminate the risk of disease that can result from inhaling asbestos 2. Respiratory Protection. OSHA has set a maximum allowable level of exposure for silica of 0.1 dust. OSHA requires that the following sign be posted at the entrance to areas where exposures mg/m3 as an 8-hour time-weighted average. Some manufacturers of non-asbestos brake linings exceed either of the maximum allowable levels: recommend that exposures to other ingredients found in non-asbestos brake linings be kept DANGER: ASBESTOS below 1.0 f/cc as an 8-hour time-weighted average. Scientists disagree, however, to what extent CANCER AND LUNG DISEASE HAZARD adherence to these maximum allowable exposure levels will eliminate the risk of disease that can AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY result from inhaling non-asbestos dust.

Wear a respirator equipped with a high-efficiency (HEPA) filter 2. Respiratory Protection. Wear a respirator equipped with a high-efficiency (HEPA) filter approved by NIOSH or MSHA, if the exposure levels may exceed OSHA or manufacturers’ approved by NIOSH or MSHA for use with asbestos at all times when servicing brakes, beginning recommended maximum levels. Even when exposures are expected to be within the maximum with the removal of the wheels. allowable levels, wearing such a respirator at all times during brake servicing will help minimize 3.
