Asbestos use at Steel MillsSome of the equipment and structures at steel mills that contain asbestos include the following:
- Construction materials. Asbestos-containing materials are used in numerous components that make up steel mills including ceiling tiles and wallboards. Workers who were tasked with performing repairs at steel mills are at elevated risk of being exposed to asbestos.
- Insulation. Asbestos was used as insulation in numerous types of equipment and machinery found at steel mills including furnaces, molding boards, and tanks.
- Protective Clothing. For many years, asbestos was placed in numerous types of protective gear worn by steel mill workers including aprons, coveralls, and facemasks. Workers who relied on this equipment to keep them safe now face an increased risk of being diagnosed with mesothelioma.
It is important to understand that it can take between 20 and 50 years for mesothelioma to develop after a person is exposed to asbestos. Most steel workers who are diagnosed with mesothelioma are between the ages of 50 and 70.
