If there is an electrical hazard, use an asbestos vacuum cleaner to remove any dust from the mounting panel and other visibly contaminated sections of the asbestos work area.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     * If there is no electrical hazard, wet wipe with a damp rag to remove minor amounts of dust.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     * Place debris, used rags, plastic sheeting and other waste in the asbestos waste bags/container.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     * Wet wipe the external surfaces of the asbestos waste bags/container to remove any adhering dust before they are removed from the asbestos work area.
Personal decontamination should be carried out in a designated area                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  * If disposable coveralls are worn, clean the coveralls while still wearing RPE using a HEPA vacuum, damp rag or fine-water spray. RPE can be cleaned with a wet rag or cloth.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     * While still wearing RPE, remove coveralls, turning them inside-out to entrap any remaining contamination and then place them into a labelled asbestos waste bag.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     * Remove RPE. If non-disposable, inspect it to ensure it is free from contamination, clean it with a wet rag and store in a clean container. If disposable, cleaning is not required but RPE should be placed in a labelled asbestos waste bag or waste container.

SAFE WORK PRACTICE 6 – INSPECTION OF ASBESTOS FRICTION MATERIALS

This guide may be used when friction ACM (e.g. brake assemblies or clutch housings) need to be inspected or housings need to be cleaned. Compressed air must not be used to clean dust from a brake assembly.
Equipment that may be required prior to starting the work (in addition to what is required  for the task)                                                                                                          * A misting spray bottle
                                                                                                                                                                                                                   * Duct tape

It is likely that a class P1 or P2 half face respirator will be adequate for this task, provided the recommended safe work procedure is followed.
Preparing the asbestos work area                                                                                                                                                                                   * Ensure appropriately marked asbestos waste disposal bags are available.
