Mesothelioma and Structural Metal Craftsmen

Structural metal craftsmen are responsible for building and repairing steel and iron structures. Studies have shown that many structural metal workers were exposed to asbestos during the course of their work and that this in turn led to a higher risk of contracting mesothelioma and other asbestos-related abnormalities.

Studies About Asbestos Done on Sheet Metal Workers

Studies done on sheet metal workers, or structural metal craftsmen, have shown that 70% of these workers who were in this occupation for 30 years or more developed asbestos-related abnormalities.

How Were Structural Metal Craftsmen Exposed to Asbestos?

Structural metal craftsmen work in the construction industry, an industry known to have high levels of asbestos exposure for many of its different trades. Structural metal craftsmen were often exposed to asbestos in asbestos-containing insulation and many other construction materials.

The Dangers of Asbestos Exposure

The dangers of asbestos exposure have been known for many years, and even when it was used in the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans, people realized that those who used it were more likely to die young or have more health problems. Unfortunately many construction companies that employed structural metal craftsmen ignored these dangers and did not alert their workers to them.
