Power Stations & Asbestos: File a mesothelioma claim if you have been harmed.

Workers in power stations have historically been at risk to develop asbestos diseases such as malignant mesothelioma and asbestos related lung cancer.

This is because many power station workers were exposed to asbestos through machinery laced with asbestos and equipment such as boilers, turbines, and generators lined with asbestos for protection from heat and fire.

Thermal power stations produce electric energy by generators. The heat generated by the turbines and steampipes is one of several health hazards in power stations, and it is essential to provide thermal insulation.

Asbestos has been widely used for this purpose.

The asbestos related health risk in power plants was confirmed by the medical community, which unfortunately linked many incidences of mesothelioma in workers to occupational exposure.

Many power station workers have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.

If this has been your experience, we may be able to help.
