Aviation Worker Risk: Aircraft Maintenance Fitter Exposed to Asbestos Dies of Mesothelioma

The family of an aircraft maintenance fitter in England has filed an asbestos lawsuit against an aviation industry giant, claiming he died due to repeated long-term exposure to the carcinogen, reported the Stockport Express newspaper on February 14, 2008.

According to the article, the maintenance worker used asbestos tape daily and was continually exposed to asbestos dust and fibers.

He died of mesothelioma at the age of 78.
