Insulators Exposed to Asbestos
You’re an insulator. You’ve been working with asbestos products your entire career, but you had no idea that asbestos caused cancer, and now you have mesothelioma. Hi, I’m Joe Williams. I’m a mesothelioma trial attorney in New York City. I want to talk to you a little bit about the types of exposures that insulators had to asbestos. Now, obviously insulators are the trade that handled insulation products. Now, I want to tell you about a client of mine who is a member of Local 12 which is the insulator’s union here in New York City.
Past Client, Insulator
He worked with every type of asbestos insulation you could imagine. He used insulation at huge power houses here in New York to insulate large high temperature steam pipes. He worked with insulation that was applied in block form to boilers. He worked with refractory that was used in boilers. He worked with insulating cement that was used to insulate all types of equipment in power houses here in New York. He also handled asbestos containing blankets, and applied them to equipment such as turbines. He used these types of blankets and asbestos cement on other equipment like pumps. We also know that insulators used spray on insulation on the steel I-beams in large commercial structures. That asbestos was a dry product that was mixed with water through the use of a spray gun, and the asbestos insulation was sprayed onto the steel I-beams of large structures.
