 WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF L&I CONDUCTS INDEPENDENT STUDY 

In 2010, the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries conducted an independent study regarding the potential health risks involved with setting air brakes on school buses. The study found that school bus drivers can suffer from sore or seriously injured right shoulders, elbows or wrists due to having to engage and disengage air brakes throughout the entirety of their shift. To help prevent and minimize the risk of these injuries the WA Dept. of L&I recommended the use of Maxie Brake Release products.
