The effects of asbestos 20, 30 and even 40 or more years later have been devastating. Workers exposed to asbestos could contract Mesothelioma, a terminal cancer or other asbestos-related diseases like asbestosis.
- Federal law requires that employers provide safe work environments, including safe levels of potential cancer-causing material including asbestos. If employees must be exposed to asbestos as part of their jobs, employers must supply them with special equipment, such as contamination suits. Employers must also make available material safety data sheets with information about chemicals being used in the workplace.
- Employees who work with dangerous substances must be given training about how to handle them safely. This should happen upon hiring, and include subsequent retraining should an employee request it.
If you were diagnoised with mesothelioma or an asbestos-related disease, your potential legal claim can depend on several factors.
