Procon Incorporated

Procon Incorporated employees exposed to asbestos

Naturally, the employees of Procon who experienced the heaviest asbestos exposure were construction workers. Asbestos was popular in the construction industry because of its strength and durability. It was also perfect for fireproofing building materials and structures. Asbestos was popular because of its strength and durability. The mineral was also useful for fireproofing building materials and structures. Most buildings put up between the early 1920s and the late 1980s are known to contain asbestos products in walls, floors, ceilings, insulation, pipes, and boiler rooms. According to estimates, more than 1 million construction workers are still exposed to materials that contain asbestos every year in the U.S.

The following are the trades of construction workers that involved significant asbestos exposure, whether they were part of the projects of Procon or another company:

• bricklayers
• heavy equipment operators
• remodelers
• insulators
• pipefitters
• laborers
• roofers
• tile setters
• painters

Furthermore, construction workers would come in contact with asbestos during the original building of various structures and subsequent maintenance, remodeling, or demolition. Asbestos dust would quickly spread around construction sites and expose plenty of workers in a short amount of time. The harmful dust would also cling to clothes, hair, and tools, traveling home with construction employees and placing their family members at risk.

Secondary asbestos exposure, a serious concern for the family members of Procon Incorporated workers

As a very common occurrence during the last century, secondary asbestos exposure refers to the inhalation and ingestion of asbestos fibers coming from indirect sources, such as the clothes of employees who handle the mineral on the job. Construction workers did not have to change their clothes when their shift ended because asbestos companies were striving to hide the scientific evidence supporting the carcinogenic nature of asbestos. As a result, they would bring asbestos, which was sometimes visible, home, unavoidably exposing their families.
