What Trades And Occupations Worked With Asbestos?
There were a wide variety of trades and jobs that were exposed to
asbestos dust from building products or raw asbestos. It is not just
the workers who worked directly with asbestos and asbestos products
that are getting sick from asbestos diseases such as asbestosis,
lung cancer and mesothelioma. The victims include workers who worked
near or around other people who used these these materials. Because
asbestos dust becomes airborne and can be invisible, the fibers
travel throughout a worksite and expose all of the workers at that
location. In a single sweeping, millions and millions of asbestos
fibers can be released into the breathing zone of anybody in that
vicinity. Over the course of a career, a worker could have breathed
several billion fibers, some of which lodge in the lung, and cause
injury.
Some of the occupations that are typically associated with the onset
of mesothelioma and other asbestos diseases include:
These are just some of the occupations involved. If you have been
diagnosed with an asbestos disease (lung cancer, mesothelioma or
asbestosis), contact Belluck & Fox
