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.

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.

Lack of or Improper Inspection of Jobsite

OSHA’s General Duty Clause requires employers to provide safe work environments.  In order to comply with this directive, employers must be able to identify and analyze potential job risks. Depending on the type of work and environment, inspections may be conducted by a number of different workers and employers. To promote systematic and detailed inspections, management must be committed to supporting inspections with resources, training, and time.  

Employers should utilize periodic industrial hygiene surveys as part of a workplace safety inspection program.  Such surveys can assist in identifying excessive noise environments and areas where hazardous substances exceed safe levels. 

Regular preventative maintenance should be a part of a workplace safety inspection program. Forklifts, ladders, fans and belts, boilers, hoists and slings, and other equipment should be examined to gauge for any emerging hazards.
