In this comprehensive video, Asbestos Attorney Justinian Lane from Asbestos Claims Law delves into the significant asbestos exposure risks that shipyard and maritime workers face in their demanding work environments. Despite the critical nature of their roles, these professionals are not shielded from the serious health risks associated with asbestos, a material once heavily used in shipbuilding and repair due to its insulation and fire-resistant properties.
Justinian provides a thorough 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 highlights the challenges faced by shipyard and maritime workers. Justinian discusses how these professionals were exposed to asbestos in confined spaces such as hulls, engine rooms, and other areas of ships where asbestos insulation was prevalent. He shares firsthand accounts from clients about the difficulties of working in such environments, where they had to scrape, grind, and weld in areas with poor ventilation, significantly increasing their risk of asbestos exposure.
