The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline handling brakes with asbestos?

as long as the dust is not air born its not dangerious unless you make it airborn wet the area with water. I have asbestos at work and when its airborn no mask will keep it from entering your body unless its the HEPA and designed for it. When I make repairs with insulation on water pipes and boilers. I first put a bag around it called a glove bag. then wet the area do my repair and secure my trash. If you are doing it in a closed area you need to have positive ventilation and or a HEPA Vac to trap the dust. I have taken the classes many times and have been certified for maintenance and not removal. I have never done it for this type of senerio but on piping and if its too big for me I call the pro's.

I know its everywhere the poor check points guys like crossing the border with the stop and go those guys really get exposure along with the street vendors.

I hope I did not scare anyone but when I doubt let someone else do it.
