Levingston Shipbuilding Company

Levingston Shipbuilding Company employees exposed to asbestos

The process of shipbuilding required large amounts of asbestos before 1980 when proper regulations with regard to asbestos use finally came into effect. Military ships had to be insulated with asbestos to prevent the risk of fire, while the construction materials they would contain were manufactured with asbestos as well. It is worthy of note that veterans may also have been exposed to asbestos by using asbestos products while they were serving in the military. This would not only endanger the health of the workers, but also the health of the people who would subsequently serve on the ships, which is why today, over 30% of veterans suffer from lung diseases as a consequence of military asbestos exposure. The U.S. Navy was particularly notorious for having employed enormous amounts of asbestos. The occupational groups that were exposed to the asbestos products of this company are:

• shipyard workers
• construction workers
• laborers
