Introduction

The risks of asbestos exposure in the automotive industry can come from working on vehicles with asbestos present in component parts and, from workshop buildings and plant. Buildings constructed prior to 31 December 1989 and plant or equipment installed before 2004 are most at risk.

Asbestos in buildings and items of plant can be found in cement sheeting, vinyl tiles, pipe lagging, seals and many other building products.

Chrysotile is the most common form of asbestos used in automotive parts and is a known human carcinogen and hazardous substance. Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) can be found in friction materials (brake linings, disc brake pads, brake blocks, clutch facings, and gaskets. Asbestos-containing brake pads and clutch plates can leave a coating of asbestos fibres and dust on the component and surrounding parts. Asbestos-containing gaskets can become friable (powdery) with heat and release dust and fibres when disturbed.
