DANGEROUS SHIPYARD OCCUPATIONS
Riggers risk mesothelioma when they work around asbestos

January 9, 2009 - Many professions are at an increased risk for asbestos exposure and the eventual development of mesothelioma. One of the most dangerous occupations involves riggers working in a shipyard.

A rigger’s job involves movement of machinery, equipment, structural parts and other heavy loads at docks and aboard ships. The job includes installation and repair of rigging and weight-handling gear on ships. As with other shipyard workers, riggers’ exposure to asbestos varies, depending on work occurring in their vicinity.

If you or a family member ever worked as a rigger and suffered from asbestos-related health issues, a mesothelioma lawyer can help you.
