Mount Storm Power Station, located in Grant County, West Virginia, was once a major hub of energy production—but it was also a silent threat to worker health. Mount Storm asbestos exposure was a serious risk for anyone who worked in or around the power plant during its peak operational years.
In the early days of the plant’s construction and operation, asbestos-containing materials were heavily used for insulation, piping, and machinery parts due to their fire-resistant properties. Electricians, pipefitters, boiler operators, and maintenance crews at Mount Storm Power Station were likely exposed on a routine basis—often without adequate protective equipment or warnings from management.
Why Mount Storm Power Station Workers Are at Risk
Power stations like Mount Storm used asbestos in:
- Turbine and generator insulation
- Boiler linings and refractory bricks
- Pipe insulation and gaskets
- Control rooms and electrical panel housing
The Mount Storm asbestos exposure wasn’t limited to a single trade. Anyone working inside the plant—whether directly handling asbestos materials or simply in proximity—faced inhalation risks. In many cases, workers unknowingly carried asbestos dust home on their clothing.
How Take-Home Asbestos Exposure Affects Families
A hidden danger of working at Mount Storm was take-home asbestos exposure. Spouses and children who never stepped foot in the power plant still faced significant risk. Laundry done at home and shared spaces like cars or furniture became secondary exposure zones.
If your loved one worked at Mount Storm and you later developed an asbestos-related illness, you may have a valid claim even if you never worked there yourself. Read more about take-home asbestos cases here.
