Electricians
Exposed to Asbestos at their workplace
Until the beginning of the 1980’s, electricians were exposed to the fibers of asbestos incorporated into building materials, such as cement, insulation and compound. Electricians were also exposed to asbestos through the very products they installed and maintained during their projects. For installing the electrical equipment needed, most electricians had to drill into walls, floors and ceiling tiles - products that contained asbestos.
