Workplace Asbestos Exposure

More than 1.3 million U. S. construction workers are exposed to asbestos each year. It is estimated that there will be about 250,000 cases of malignant Mesothelioma before 2020.

Asbestos Exposure

Over 27 million people in the U. S. are at risk of developing malignant Mesothelioma from asbestos exposure. Asbestos manufactures knew of the long term dangers of asbestos exposure but chose to ignore or downplay the role asbestos played in many reported illnesses.

Diagnosed With Mesothelioma

More than 10,000 Americans in the U. S. will be diagnosed with Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases each year. Malignant Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, heart and major organs of the body.

Mesothelioma & Asbestos

The number of people diagnosed with asbestos caused diseases in the U.S. continues to increase. Experts believe 60,000 mesothelioma deaths will occur between 2010 and 2030. The 3 main treatments for Mesothelioma are: surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Asbestos Dust

Malignant Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos through ingestion or inhaling of microscopic asbestos fibers as small .3 microns. Mesothelioma symptoms may not appear for 10-40 years after first exposure.

Friday, August 27, 2010

As part of P&H’s continued commitment to providing personalized representation to Wisconsin workers, the firm hosted local union members at Miller Park to watch the Milwaukee Brewers take on the Florida Marlins last Thursday. During the event, Jon Neumann (Managing Attorney), Craig Peters (Trial Attorney), and Selby Lighthill (Trial Attorney) spoke with union members about the important work being done by unions to develop the state’s infrastructure.  Safety issues were also discussed, with many guests remarking that safety too often remains an afterthought. Rick Schriener (IUPAT DC 7, Business Rep) and Daniel Slane (Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters-North Region, Business Agent), however, noted that general contractors were increasingly working with Wisconsin unions on safety issues.  Injury reductions are occurring where such collaboration and early focus occurs.      

In addition to enjoying a pre-game buffet, attendees had the pleasure of watching the Brewers defeat the Marlins, 8-3.  Corey Hart had three hits, including his career high 30th home run of the season. Thanks to all who shared the evening with us at Miller Park’s Harley Davidson Deck, including attending members from Heat & Frost Insulators Union Local 19, Ironworkers Local 8, International Union of Painters and Allied Trades DC 7, Boilermakers Local 107, Wisconsin District Council of Bricklayers & Allied Craftsworkers, Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters -North Region, Operating Plasterers & Cement Masons International Union Local 599, Sheet Metal Workers Union Local 18, and Tile & Terrazzo Layers Protective Union Local 5.  A special thanks also to Nancy Zekor for taking pictures of the event!
