Many West Virginia tradesmen crossed the Ohio River to work at the Kyger Creek Power Station in Cheshire, Ohio—often unaware of the hidden dangers. A Kyger Creek asbestos lawyer can help if you or a loved one was exposed to asbestos while working there or through contaminated clothing brought home.
Pipefitters, boilermakers, millwrights, electricians, and insulators who worked at Kyger Creek in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s routinely handled or worked near asbestos-containing materials. Unfortunately, this has led to serious illnesses decades later, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.
Asbestos Exposure at Kyger Creek Power Station
Kyger Creek Power Station used large amounts of asbestos insulation around:
- Boilers
- Turbines
- Pipes and pumps
- Electrical wiring and switchgear
These materials were routinely disturbed during maintenance, repairs, and retrofitting work — creating airborne asbestos dust that tradesmen breathed in without warning or protective equipment.
WV Tradesmen Who Worked at Kyger Creek
It wasn’t uncommon for West Virginia workers to drive across the river daily or take contractor assignments on extended jobs at Kyger. Workers from plants like Philip Sporn, Mountaineer, or Pleasants Power Station would take extra jobs or transfers to Kyger Creek — never knowing the long-term health risks.
Take-Home Asbestos Exposure Risks
Families of Kyger Creek workers also faced take-home asbestos exposure. If contaminated clothing was worn home, microscopic fibers could be released into family vehicles, laundry rooms, and homes — potentially harming spouses and children.
