Exposure to asbestos (1332214) during the servicing of brakes on state owned vehicles at the Bureau of Vehicle Management Maintenance Division (SIC-7538), Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was investigated as part of a study of control technologies. Brakes had been serviced at this garage facility for the previous year using a BCE-1000 Clayton brake cleaning unit, sized for cars, vans, and pickups. The brake cleaning unit consisted of a transparent enclosure hood and a HEPA vacuum filter dust collector, designed to contain and collect all brake lining dust during vehicular brake maintenance and replacement. The authors conclude that the Clayton BCE-1000 dust control unit appeared to be effective in containing and collecting brake dust during all vehicular brake maintenance and replacement jobs in this situation.
