Kaiser Aluminum asbestos exposure has affected countless workers and families in Ravenswood, West Virginia. If you or a loved one spent time working at the Kaiser plant and have since been diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, or lung cancer, you may be entitled to compensation. The facility—originally built in the 1950s—used asbestos-containing materials in nearly every area of operations, especially where high heat, fireproofing, and insulation were required.
Asbestos exposure at Kaiser Aluminum in Ravenswood wasn’t limited to a few trades. From production line operators and electricians to maintenance crews and pipefitters, anyone working around thermal systems could have unknowingly inhaled toxic asbestos fibers on a daily basis.
Where Asbestos Was Found at Kaiser Aluminum
Kaiser Aluminum workers in Ravenswood faced regular exposure in:
- Pipe insulation and elbow joints
- Furnace linings and boiler walls
- Fireproof gaskets and packing materials
- Pumps and mechanical seals in smelters
These areas saw heavy daily use and maintenance, disturbing asbestos fibers and putting workers directly in harm’s way.
Take-Home Asbestos Exposure – A Hidden Threat
Exposure didn’t end at the plant gate. Many Kaiser Aluminum workers unknowingly brought asbestos dust home on their clothes, hair, and shoes—creating a risk to spouses and children. These secondary exposures have tragically led to mesothelioma diagnoses among family members who never stepped foot in the plant.
