Industrial plant, maintenance, and factory workers and asbestos exposure
As recently as the 1980s, asbestos was prevalent in a wide range of products used in industrial plants. It was incorporated into many of the machines found there due to its fire resistance and insulating properties.
The attorneys at The Throneberry Law Group effectively defend clients who have worked on:
textile factories
paper mills
Manufacturing and recycling plants.
Luck
power generation plants
Our attorneys are trained to detail a client's employment history and trace specific exposures to a given mill, factory or plant. Industrial workers found asbestos in turbine and boiler insulation, pipe linings, electrical wiring and conduit, dryer felts, valve gaskets, and gaskets. Even if you have worked in many different plants during your life, we can help you file your claim by proving any significant asbestos exposure.
How factory workers are exposed to asbestos
Many factory workers were exposed to asbestos over the years on the job. Some of the ways workers were exposed to asbestos include:
Workers who were exposed to a high concentration of asbestos when it was disrupted during repairs or maintenance of the building in which they worked.
Workers who had to pass through areas containing asbestos on a routine basis to examine operations elsewhere in the area.
Workers tasked with repairing equipment in factories, which often contained asbestos that was released during maintenance work. Many times these workers came into direct contact with asbestos during repairs.
Machine operators who came into contact with asbestos as soon as the machines released the material into the air.
Studies establishing the dangers of asbestos
Over the years, several scientific studies have established the dangers of asbestos exposure, including the following:
One study found that workers at a Connecticut factory that manufactured friction products containing asbestos experienced a significantly increased risk of being diagnosed with mesothelioma.
A study of a motor vehicle plant found that workers had a much higher rate of laryngeal and lung cancer than those in many other settings. These workers used asbestos on a daily basis to create various auto parts, including brake pads.
Another study found that there was a higher rate of mesothelioma among workers in a factory that made gas masks. Because these workers frequently handled asbestos, they were much more likely to end up inhaling asbestos, which could lead to several types of life-threatening medical conditions.
