Asbestos Alert

I recently came across a different kind of cancer and this is caused by asbestos. I researched further and found out who are the most prone to Mesothelioma (cancer caused by exposure to asbestos) and found this:

Work Environments

• Asbestos product manufacturing (insulation, roofing, building, materials)
• Automotive repair (brakes & clutches)
• Construction sites
• Maritime operations
• Mining operations
• Offshore rust removals
• Oil refineries
• Power plants
• Railroads
• Sand or abrasive manufacturers
• Shipyards / ships / shipbuilders
• Steel mills

Occupations

• Asbestos removal workers
• Workers at exfoliation facilities where vermiculite ore from Libby, Montana, was processed
• Demolition workers
• Workers at asbestos product manufacturing plants
• Auto mechanics
• Boilermakers
• Bricklayers
• Building inspectors
• Carpenters
• Drywallers
• Electricians
• Floor covering manufacturers or installers
• Furnace workers
• Glazers
• Grinders
• Hod carriers
• Insulators
• Iron workers
• Laborers
• Longshoremen
• Maintenance workers
• Merchant marines
• Millwrights
• Operating engineers
• Painters
• Plasterers
• Plumbers
• Roofers

This is really an eye opener for me. In my research too found out that legal help is also extended through a reputable Mesothelioma lawyer that specializes with this kind of legal battle so you are guranteed a good fighting chance. All is not lost after all, you just need a good back up.
