Did your job making jewelry cause your asbestos illness? We may be able to help.

Asbestos has been used extensively in a variety of occupations, including jewelry making.

In the jewelry industry, inadequate safety procedures may often go unchecked. The result can be exposure to asbestos, a known carcinogen that can cause asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Some jewelers were exposed to asbestos while hand-cutting asbestos plates used for protection during soldering.

In the soldering process asbestos fibers can then be blown into the workroom air as the plates break down.

In addition, at the end of each work day the workroom floor is swept, with subsequent airborne asbestos dust distribution.

Many jewelers across the country have come forward to say they have developed asbestos-related illnesses from their work.
