Asbestos Exposure at WH Sammis Power Station in Stratton, Ohio

WH Sammis Power Station asbestos exposure remains a serious concern for former employees and their families. If you or someone you love worked at the WH Sammis Plant in Stratton, OH, and developed mesothelioma or another asbestos-related illness, understanding your legal rights could be the first step toward justice.

Constructed in the 1950s and operational through decades of energy production, the WH Sammis Power Station was one of the largest coal-fired facilities in the region. Like many similar plants of its time, it used vast amounts of asbestos-containing insulation to protect turbines, pipes, and high-heat equipment from fire and corrosion. Unfortunately, this put workers—particularly those in maintenance, operations, and insulation trades—at direct risk.

Who Was at Risk of Asbestos Exposure at WH Sammis?

Workers at the WH Sammis Power Station may have been exposed to asbestos in gaskets, boilers, pipe insulation, electrical panels, and structural coatings. Contractors, pipefitters, electricians, and even clerical or custodial staff could have inhaled airborne asbestos fibers during renovations, repairs, or routine operations.

And it wasn’t just workers themselves. Families were often exposed indirectly through take-home asbestos exposure, when contaminated clothing, hair, or tools brought fibers into the household. Spouses and children later developed serious diseases—sometimes decades after the initial exposure.
