Did your work as a furnace mason expose you to asbestos cement and other dangerous asbestos products? You may be eligible for lawsuit compensation.

The risks for furnace masons to be exposed to asbestos were numerous.

It was in just about every furnace companies made--from small laboratory devices to giant metal melters.

Asbestos was so frequently a factor in production in so many workplaces that at times the air was thick with tiny particles of the indestructible asbestos mineral.

As furnace masons, many laborers worked with several types of asbestos materials, cutting, pounding or even mixing asbestos-based cement.

At times, the dust was so thick that workers wer unable see the employee working next them.

And anybody walking through those asbestos-filled plants could have been exposed to it or could have brought it home on their clothes and shoes.

All too often, those plants failed to provide their furnace mason workers and other laborers with appropriate protective clothing such as good respirator masks.

Many furnace mason workers have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
