The Asbestos in Clutch and Gaskets Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) helps businesses manage the risks associated with asbestos in automotive components. It gives clear, step-by-step instructions for safe handling and disposal, protecting workers and maintaining health and safety standards.

It covers the hazard, the PPE to wear, the work area set-up with segregation and signage, the equipment needed (such as HEPA vacuums and asbestos waste bags), and the containment and disposal of asbestos waste.

It sets out step-by-step procedures for clutch repairs and for cylinder head and exhaust gaskets, and includes a register to track worker training and competency.
