Product Hazards
Equipment Starts Automatically:
Brake systems frequently are
controlled remotely and may activate suddenly causing bodily harm.
Ensure all power sources are locked out prior to performing work.
Pinch Points:
Brakes contain numerous pinch points which can
cause serious injury. Ensure all power sources are locked out prior
to performing work.
Hot Surfaces:
Disc brakes are capable of making the surfaces of the
brake disc dangerously hot when burnishing or during braking
events. Ensure the disc is adequately guarded to prevent
inadvertent contact with the disc.
Airborne Dust:
Brake linings contain fibers that may become
airborne during cutting or sanding operations. Over exposure to
these dusts should be considered hazardous. Use NIOSH approved
respirators when working with brake linings. Request a MSDS for
further information.
