Working with or around asbestos can cause serious injuries. Many workers are being diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis as a result of being exposed to asbestos in the 1940's, 1950's, 1960's and thereafter. These victims include powerhouse workers, factory workers, electricians, brake mechanics, shipyard workers, merchant seaman, plumbers, mechanics, maintenance workers, engineers, Navy workers and laborers.
(List of At-Risk
Occupations)
The corporations that manufactured asbestos-containing products and machinery knew about the dangers of asbestos beginning in the 1920's but they hid these dangers from workers and their families. (Mesothelioma
Cover-Up)
Asbestos is a mineral that was crushed and milled into a fine particulate, and shipped to corporations for building and insulation materials. During the installation, repair, maintenance, renovation and removal of asbestos materials, the products were cut, scraped, sanded and otherwise altered. Some materials, such as cements, were mixed at job sites using raw asbestos fibers. These processes created dust, which was breathed in by the laborers working with and around these materials. Dust from these products also traveled throughout buildings and factories and ships, and remained airborne for weeks. When swept, these materials were re-suspended in the air -- where they were breathed in again by workers in the vicinity.

Sites)
A wide array of workers were exposed to asbestos including shipyard workers, factory workers, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, plumbers, laborers, machinists, mechanics, powerhouse workers, and electricians. One cloud of dust from asbestos products can contain millions or billions of fibers, and even a small amount of asbestos can cause lung damage.

Often, individuals won't recall how they were exposed to asbestos, and may believe that they were not exposed to asbestos at all. A careful examination and review of a person's work and life history often reveals exposures to asbestos products that may not be readily apparent.
