Asbestos Exposure Records

Local 324 stationary engineers operated and maintained boiler plants, steam systems, and mechanical equipment in buildings and industrial complexes across Michigan — including the automotive plants, power stations, and institutional facilities where asbestos insulation was standard construction. Documented jobsite exposure records for Michigan facilities are maintained at michiganmesothelioma.com .

If you were diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease and were exposed to asbestos insulation, gaskets, or packing while operating boilers, steam plants, or equipment at automotive plants, power plants, or other industrial facilities in Michigan, documented exposure records may be available for your work locations.

Occupational Disease Resources

Building trades workers who were active during the period from approximately 1940 through the early 1980s were routinely exposed to asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, refractory, and packing at industrial and commercial jobsites.

Conditions associated with this exposure include mesothelioma, asbestosis, and asbestos-related lung cancer. These conditions can have latency periods of 20–50 years and may not appear until decades after exposure ended.
