ASBESTOS - TRADES MOST AT RISK - UTILITY WORKERS
Utility Workers are at a high risk of exposure to asbestos.
Utility Workers involved in the operation and maintenance
of utility powerhouses, and other facilities and equipment of
electric and gas utilities were exposed to asbestos products.
Utility powerhouses in particular, involve miles of steam piping
which were insulated with asbestos products, as well as boilers
many stories high which, together with feedwater heaters, pumps,
conveyors, condensers, turbine-generators, and auxiliary equipment,
were also assembled and insulated with asbestos products.
Everyone working in such facilities risked significant asbestos
exposure because of ongoing repairs, maintenance, overhaul, and
conversion, not to mention being present during the construction
of new units. The asbestos dust and fiber from the asbestos products
used to insulate, assemble, seal, and line all this piping and
equipment was readily carried through the plant by drafts, convection
created by the hot equipment, and the fact that only metal grating
and not solid flooring separated the elevations of these huge
structures. Utility workers involved in maintenance of sub-stations,
underground cable and steam lines also risked exposure to asbestos
products.
The following are some of the utilities and powerhouses where
our past and present clients worked and were exposed to asbestos
