February 1981 final technical report by David R. Jones of IIT Research Institute, Chicago, prepared for the Maritime Administration's Office of Research and Development. It followed an earlier Phase I engine-room study. The report lists asbestos-containing materials aboard ship and measured crew exposures during routine repair and maintenance on two US-flag vessels: pipe lagging and pipe repair, welding, brake cleaning, valve and gasket work, and clean-up. Cleaning of enclosed brakes exceeded the ceiling limit, and lagging removal and clean-up were the main risks. It recommended respirators, wet and vacuum clean-up, better hygiene and waste handling, and exhaust hoods on brakes.
