Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel and the Asbestos Legacy: What Every Former Steelworker Should Know


For decades, Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel wasn’t just a name—it was a way of life in the Upper Ohio Valley. Generations of men worked hard in the mills at Mingo Junction, Steubenville, Yorkville, and Beech Bottom, providing for their families and building America’s steel backbone. As a Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Mesothelioma Lawyer, Lee Davis has been helping families in the Ohio Valley for more than 30 years.

But what they didn’t know—what no one told them—was that they were being exposed daily to one of the deadliest materials ever used in American industry: asbestos.

Where Asbestos Was Hiding in the Mill

Asbestos was used across the plant:

  • Pipe insulation wrapping thousands of feet of high-heat steam lines;
  • Furnace linings and welding blankets, used daily without warning;
  • Hot tops, gaskets, motors, and pumps, many of which were cut or repaired onsite;
  • Clothing and gloves worn by maintenance workers.
