Maintenance contractors in West Virginia were routinely exposed to asbestos on job sites like power plants, steel mills, chemical plants, and paper mills. If you or a loved one worked as a WV maintenance contractor, asbestos exposure may have led to serious health conditions like mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis.
These workers often dealt with older equipment, piping, insulation, boilers, gaskets, and electrical systems—all of which were known to contain asbestos well into the 1980s. Because maintenance work frequently involved disturbing these materials, exposure was often direct and sustained.
High-Risk Maintenance Work Environments
In West Virginia, maintenance contractors often performed tasks in high-heat and confined areas, including:
- Powerhouses and boiler rooms
- Refineries and compressor stations
- Steel plants and forging facilities
- Older commercial and government buildings
Even short-term assignments or part-time contractor work could result in harmful levels of asbestos exposure.
