ASBESTOS FURNACE
Furnace workers have a right to seek legal options if asbestos exposure caused disease

In recent news about the dangers of exposure to asbestos, a furnace worker's legal fight to secure compensation after being diagnosed with the terminal cancer mesothelioma is being continued after his death by his family.

The furnace worker, who died as a result of the asbestos cancer at 83, said his life had been ruined by the illness.

Mesothelioma cancer is caused by exposure to asbestos, and his relatives say he was in contact with asbestos while operating as a boiler and furnace worker during the 1950s.

Asbestos was frequently used in the manufacture of many products, including furnace cement.

Furnace cement is used in furnaces and boilers to fix firebrick in place.

Asbestos is known for its fire retardant and resiliency properties and its hazards were not fully known in decades past.

Thus, it was commonly used to produce furnace cement and fire bricks. So furnace workers are at asbestos risk.

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