For many decades, American workers have been suffering and dying needlessly due to asbestos exposure. This tragedy is even more sinister in light of one simple, indisputable fact: Companies and their insurers knew the dangers of asbestos. Yet, for decades they chose to conceal this information from workers and their families. In fact, asbestos is still legal in the United States.
This crisis has disproportionately affected Utah residents due to the state’s rich history of manufacturing. Certain jobs put American workers at a greater risk of asbestos exposure.
A few high-risk industries include:
- Aerospace and Aviation
- Asbestos Abatement
- Asbestos Product Manufacturing
- Chemical and Petrochemical Industry
- Construction
- Iron, Steel, and Aluminum
- Manufacturing
- Military (all branches)
- Power Plants
- Railroad
- Utilities and HVAC
But anyone working in industrial, blue-collar or military occupations during the 20th century may have been exposed to asbestos and could be at risk of developing asbestos-related diseases and mesothelioma. Click here to read more about high-risk occupations.
In addition to these industries, we have identified the Geneva Steel Mill in Vineyard, Utah, as a known exposure site.
