In recent news about the dangers of asbestos exposure, a wood machinist for a construction firm died after spending years working in asbestos dust.

Reportedly, until 1969 when the company stopped using asbestos sheeting, the wood machinist was involved with handling asbestos.

The man told his wife before he died that there were "clouds of asbestos dust emanating from asbestos cutting machines", which settled on the floor before being swept up.

The wood machinist was was diagnosed with asbestos-related lung disease last year and died shortly after his diagnosis.

Many wood machinists and other construction workers have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
