Limbach Construction

Limbach Construction employees exposed to asbestos

The company has experts in a wide range of construction services, from mechanical to fire protection, which means that it exposed a lot of former workers to asbestos during the last century. Mechanics who were in charge of heating, air conditioning, and ventilation systems would come in contact with asbestos by cutting, sanding, breaking, and disturbing old ductwork, as these processes inevitably released toxic particles into the atmosphere. Subsequently, workers inhaled and ingested some of these asbestos fibers. Furthermore, when these employees would open compartments and panels to perform these tasks, they could easily disturb the asbestos dust that had settled in that space.

These are some of the occupational groups Limbach Construction exposed to asbestos during the heyday of the mineral, directly or indirectly:

• HVAC mechanics
• sheet metal workers
• boiler workers
• steamfitters
• engineers
• insulators
• plumbers
• electricians

When it comes to boiler workers, they were one of the occupations most frequently exposed to asbestos and now carry the highest risk for developing a disease as a consequence of asbestos inhalation or ingestion. The danger in the case of boiler workers came from regular operation and attendance of the machinery. To understand how ardent the issue of boiler workers and asbestos exposure is, let this fact sink in: between 1986 and 1995, medical professionals diagnosed nearly 100 cases of mesothelioma in boiler workers in Australia. Mesothelioma is the rarest malignant disease caused by asbestos exposure.

Secondary asbestos exposure, a serious concern for the family members of Limbach Construction workers

When laundering their work clothes or hugging the Limbach Construction worker, their family members would inhale some of the asbestos fibers on their clothes.
