Electrician asbestos exposure WV is a growing legal concern for workers and families across the state. Electricians were exposed to asbestos while working in power plants, steel mills, chemical facilities, and industrial sites—many without ever being warned of the danger.
In West Virginia, electricians often performed tasks that disturbed asbestos-containing materials. These included rewiring near insulation, cutting conduit, or replacing panels lined with asbestos. Exposure frequently occurred during:
- Plant shutdowns
- Maintenance in boiler rooms
- Retrofitting older buildings and industrial machinery
Some of these electricians unknowingly carried asbestos fibers home on their clothes, exposing spouses and children to take-home asbestos exposure.
