In this insightful video, Asbestos Attorney Justinian Lane from Asbestos Claims Law highlights the significant asbestos exposure risks that railroad workers historically faced. Despite the evolution of the railroad industry, these professionals were not spared from the serious health risks associated with asbestos, a material once integral to the industry, especially in insulation and braking systems.
Justinian provides a comprehensive introduction to asbestos, its properties, and its extensive use in various products until the 1970s when its serious health hazards led to a decline in use. He emphasizes that no level of asbestos exposure is considered safe, with even minimal contact potentially leading to serious respiratory diseases and cancers.
The video specifically focuses on the challenges faced by railroad workers. Justinian discusses how these professionals were exposed to asbestos through their work with steam locomotives, which required asbestos insulation, and even after the transition from steam, through continued use of asbestos in components like brakes. He explains that the widespread use of asbestos in the railroad industry significantly increased the risk of asbestos-related illnesses for workers.
