ASBESTOS - TRADES MOST AT RISK - MAINTENANCE WORKERS AND NON-UNION
CRAFTS
Auto and Truck Brake & Clutch Mechanics
Those who made a career of servicing auto and/or truck brakes
and clutches may have been exposed to sufficient asbestos dust
to cause disease.
Mechanics who worked for, or operated a plumbing and heating
contract or jobbing business, or worked in oil burner installation
and service, may have had considerable asbestos exposure, even
if the work was mostly residential. Residential boilers, furnaces,
and hot water heaters, installed up through the 1970's were often
assembled, sealed, and/or insulated with asbestos products as
was the attendant piping.
Your Legal Rights
