Consolidated Steel shipyard workers and the asbestos cancer risk

Consolidated Steel, located in Long Beach, was a merging of three iron companies: Baker, Union, and Llewellyn Iron Works. The company official began operations upon this union in 1929.

Later on, Consolidated Steel opened two shipyards--one in Delaware, and one in California.

Consolidated Steel was busiest during World War II. At that time, 12,000 people were employed at the shipyards.

At the close of WWII, the company grew idle, as there were few Navy contracts. Consolidated Steel was forced to shutter its doors.

Asbestos was often used in the construction of the company's facilities, as well as for use in its ships' boilers and piping.

Shipyard workers were routinely exposed to airborne asbestos fibers.

As a result, many of these people later developed mesothelioma cancer, lung cancer or asbestosis.
