Westinghouse Fairmont Asbestos Exposure – Legal Help for Families

If you or a loved one worked at the Westinghouse Glass Plant in Fairmont, WV, you may have been exposed to dangerous asbestos fibers. Westinghouse Fairmont asbestos exposure was a real risk for many tradesmen and production workers over several decades. Today, we know that exposure to asbestos can cause devastating diseases, including mesothelioma and asbestosis.



Where Asbestos Was Used at Westinghouse Fairmont

The Westinghouse Fairmont Glass Plant used high-temperature equipment, requiring asbestos insulation around:

  • Steam pipes and valves
  • Boilers and ovens
  • Electrical panels and switches
  • Kilns and refractory linings

Workers in these environments may have inhaled asbestos fibers daily.


Who Faced the Highest Risk of Westinghouse Fairmont Asbestos Exposure?

The risk of Westinghouse Fairmont asbestos exposure was especially high among:

  • Maintenance mechanics
  • Pipefitters and boiler workers
  • Furnace operators
  • Millwrights
  • Insulators

Even employees not working directly with asbestos could still be exposed just by being in the same area.


Secondhand Asbestos Exposure at Home

Many workers unknowingly brought asbestos dust home on their clothes. This led to take-home asbestos exposure, where spouses and children later developed mesothelioma or lung disease simply from laundering contaminated clothing. These are valid cases under West Virginia law. Learn more about take-home exposure here.
