Appendix F Work Practices and Engineering Controls for Automotive Brake and Clutch Inspection, Disassembly, Repair, and Assembly Mandatory
This mandatory appendix specifies engineering controls and work practices that must be implemented by the employer during automotive brake and clutch inspection, disassembly, repair, and assembly operations. Proper use of these engineering controls and work practices by trained employees will reduce employees' asbestos exposure below the permissible exposure level during clutch and brake inspection, disassembly, repair, and assembly operations. The employer shall institute engineering controls and work practices using either the method set forth in paragraph [A] or paragraph [B] of this appendix, or any other method which the employer can demonstrate to be equivalent in terms of reducing employee exposure to asbestos, as defined, and which meets the requirements described in paragraph [C] of this appendix. For those facilities in which no more than 5 pairs of brakes or 5 clutches are inspected, disassembled, reassembled, and/or repaired per week, the method set forth in paragraph [D] of this appendix may be used. [A] Negative Pressure Enclosure/HEPA Vacuum System Method:
[B] Low Pressure/Wet Cleaning Method:
[C] Equivalent Methods:
An equivalent method is one which has sufficient written detail so that it can be reproduced, and for which it has been demonstrated that the exposures resulting from the equivalent method are equal to or less than the exposures which would result from the use of the method described in paragraph [A] of this appendix. For purposes of making this comparison, the employer shall assume that exposures resulting from the use of the method described in paragraph [A] of this appendix shall not exceed 0.016 f/cc, as measured by the OSHA reference method and as averaged over at least 18 personal samples.
[D] Wet Method:
(1) A spray bottle, hose nozzle, or other implement capable of delivering a fine mist of water or amended water, or other delivery system capable of delivering water at low pressure, shall be used to first thoroughly wet the brake and clutch parts. Brake and clutch components shall then be wiped clean with a cloth.
(2) The cloth shall be placed in an impermeable container, labeled according to subsection (j) (4) of this section, and then disposed of according to subsection (k) of this section; or the cloth shall be laundered in a way to prevent the release of asbestos fibers in excess of 0.1 fiber per cubic centimeter of air.
