Occupations Where Asbestos Exposure May Have Occurred
Many industries used asbestos in Mississippi workplaces. Because Alabama is located near the Gulf of Mexico, there are several shipyards and oil refineries that were established throughout the state. Oil refinery, dock and shipyard workers were at a high risk of being exposed to asbestos and developing mesothelioma. Asbestos was commonly used in these locations to prevent fires. Additionally, power plants, chemical plants and manufacturing plants also relied on this material because of its insulating properties and resistance to heat. Chemical workers, electrical plant operators, boiler operators and gas fitters have also reported exposure to asbestos. The same qualities that made asbestos an attractive option for these sites also made it attractive as a common construction material that lined insulation, drywall, drilling muds, ceiling tiles and floor tiles. Carpenters, construction workers, electricians and demolition workers could have been exposed when working on buildings constructed before the 1970s when asbestos use began to be regulated.
If you worked in any of these occupations and developed mesothelioma, our attorneys can help guide you through your claim.
