Oil Refinery Occupations Known for Asbestos Exposure
The threat posed by asbestos was understood by oil refinery owners for quite some time before regulations finally required these companies to stop using asbestos containing materials and to remove asbestos from any existing machines.
Our clients include oil refinery workers who were unknowingly exposed to asbestos and as a result, years or decades later have been diagnosed with several deadly forms of cancer and mesothelioma. At The Throneberry Law Group, we are dedicated to making sure that these victims obtain compensation for the damage that resulted from their asbestos exposure including lost wages, medical bills, and emotional pain and suffering.

- Protective equipment. Oil refinery owners valued asbestos for many years due to the material’s ability to resist fire and high heat.
- Refinery equipment. Asbestos was commonly placed in equipment located at refineries. This meant that maintenance workers were commonly exposed to asbestos when repairing damaged equipment.
