Former Employees of Goulds Pumps Inc. Need to Pay Close Attention to Their Health

Prior to the 80s, Goulds Pumps has produced its own asbestos products, in addition to using asbestos equipment. These products not only exposed their employees but even the public at large. Their pumps, for example, were specifically engineered to be used with asbestos components that would end up in industrial or military applications. Workers were exposed to serious health risks, as factory buildings usually contained large amounts of asbestos, such as wall and electrical insulation and machinery. Constant tempering with asbestos either by working with it in sheeting form or by just simply using equipment containing it would contaminate the environment, making it a hazard for human health.

Former employees need to keep a close eye on their health. Asbestos-related diseases can develop even after the exposure has stopped, and can take many years to start showing signs. It’s very important to do constant check-ups on the state of your lungs. To promote early diagnosis, we offer screenings free of charge. Our specialists will examine it and determine whether or not there is cause for concern. Contact us if you have further questions regarding this matter.
