Jobs with high asbestos dust exposure

"An estimated 1.3 million employees in construction and general industry face significant asbestos exposure on the job. Employees are also likely to be exposed during the manufacture of asbestos products (such as textiles, friction products, insulation, and other building materials) and during automotive and clutch repair work."--Occupational Safety & Health Administration, osha.gov

Certain jobs place people at higher risk for exposure to asbestos dust. These occupations include:

  • The manufacture of all asbestos products
  • Construction and ship-building industries

    Asbestos dust exposure also occurs in asbestos end-product use occupations such as:
  • Asbestos insulation
  • Brake repair
  • Maintenance
  • Steel
  • Pipe fitting
  • Tile work
  • Boilermakers
  • Shipfitters
  • Building demolition
  • Asbestos abatement

    Important: Even if your job does not expose you to asbestos dust, you may still be at risk for developing an asbestos-related illness if you live with someone whose job places them at risk. Learn more.

    • Mesothelioma & Asbestosis Mortalities Across the US: 1979-2001 (c/o EWG)

    “We have seen first-hand how asbestos has wreaked havoc on Americans working in naval shipyards, automobile plants, and the construction industry. Most often this is through their employers’ conscious choice for profits over a worker's health.”

    -- Joseph Patrick Williams, a trial attorney in the Asbestos Litigation department of Weitz & Luxenberg
