Asbestos dangers and the construction industry

In the 20th century, asbestos was used in hundreds of construction products to make them stronger and fire-resistant. Many companies that made or distributed asbestos-containing products knew that the products can lead to cancer in people who came into contact with them. Despite this knowledge, the companies failed to disclose the dangers of asbestos in order to continue using asbestos for commercial purposes.

As a result, many people who have worked in the construction industry such as carpenters, sheet metal workers, boilermakers and plumbers are at risk of developing asbestos-related cancers such as mesothelioma and lung cancer.
