WV construction worker asbestos exposure was widespread across building sites, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects from the 1940s through the 1980s. Men and women in the trades—plumbers, insulators, pipefitters, drywallers, and laborers—unknowingly inhaled toxic asbestos dust on the job.
WV Construction Worker Asbestos Risk Was Widespread
Whether in Charleston, Wheeling, Parkersburg, or Beckley, union and non-union tradesmen alike encountered asbestos insulation, fireproofing, and cement products daily. Many workers were never warned. Protective equipment was rarely provided. And the long latency of mesothelioma means that exposure from decades ago is just now surfacing in diagnosis.
