A scientist at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was threatened to be suspended for not revising asbestos warnings to auto mechanics working on brakes. According to documents, OSHA told the scientist he would be suspended for 10 days without pay, but the advisory bulletin remains online as the scientist stands by his “solid” claim. According to a government union, OSHA wants his advisory to include auto industry funded studies that say asbestos in brakes does not pose any risk.
