Mesothelioma Workers Likely to be Affected

All kinds of workers may have been exposed to asbestos from shipbuilding, engineering, factory maintenance, hospitals, offices to even in the home.

But as time goes on, and more and more cases are diagnosed, it has now become plain that a wide range of trades and other workers outside these sectors were also exposed.

These are the workers most likely to be affected:

• Joiner
• Insulator
• Lagger
• Electrician
• Engineer
• Marine Engineer
• Welder
• Fitter
• Engine Fitter
• Painter
• French Polisher
• Boilerman
• Boilermaker

Women have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma directly caused by inhaling the particles of asbestos clinging to the overalls they washed for their husbands, sons and boyfriends.

Some people may have been affected because asbestos was present in their offices and factories, of if they worked in its vicinity, or if it was disturbed during alterations or refurbishment of the premises.

They include:

• Secretary
• Teacher
• Prison Officer
• Janitor

Some people have developed Mesothelioma from working at or near asbestos factories or dumps, while others have been exposed in a domestic environment.
