Asbestos Information Use caution to avoid breathing asbestos dust that may be generated by handling components containing asbestos fibers. If asbestos dust is inhaled, it can be hazardous to your health. Components that could be installed in TIMBTEC Hydro-Skidders that may contain asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake band and lining assemblies and some gaskets. The asbestos in these components are usually bound in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is not dangerous as long as airborne dust which contains asbestos is not generated. If dust which can contain asbestos is present, there are several common sense guidelines that should be followed: Never use compressed air for cleaning asbestos containing materials. For clean up, use wet methods or a vacuum equipped with a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. Use exhaust ventilation on permanent machining jobs. Wear an approved respirator if there is no other way to control the dust. Comply with applicable rules and regulations for the work place (for example in the U.S.A., OSHA requirements as set forth in 29 CFR 1910.1001). Follow environmental rules and regulations for disposal of asbestos. Avoid areas where asbestos particles might be in the air. Avoid brushing or grinding of asbestos containing materials.
