Asbestos exposure in aircraft plants occurred due to the widespread use of asbestos-containing materials in construction, insulation, and fireproofing. Workers involved in aircraft manufacturing, maintenance, and repair faced the risk of inhaling asbestos fibers. They were exposed while handling asbestos insulation, gaskets, seals, fireproofing materials, brake linings, electrical wiring, and other components. Aircraft mechanics, welders, insulation workers, electricians, sheet metal workers, painters, and maintenance personnel were among those at risk. Over time, the disturbance, repair, or removal of asbestos-containing materials released airborne fibers, leading to the potential development of asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma and lung cancer.
Aircraft Plant Workers were exposed to asbestos while working in building trades, residential homes, and commercial buildings throughout the U. S. with peak exposure years being 1930-1980.
Aircraft Workers that have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma are entitled to compensation through lawsuits and Asbestos Trust Funds.
125 million Americans have been exposed to asbestos in their workplace.
Our experienced Mesothelioma lawyers help Aircraft Workers fight against negligent asbestos manufacturers that exposed them to toxic asbestos containing products.
Aircraft Workers were exposed to asbestos-containing products on jobsites that included; gaskets, valves, insulation, drywall, plasters, adhesives, joint compounds, felts, caulking, cements, glues, tiles, pipes, wiring and over 3,000 common products.
Aircraft Workers worked with and around asbestos containing products on a daily basis making them a high risk group for developing Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related cancers.

In these aircraft plants, workers were exposed to asbestos through handling and working with asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, fireproofing materials, and other components during aircraft manufacturing, repair, and maintenance processes. The disturbance, repair, or removal of these materials released airborne asbestos fibers, posing risks to the health of the workers.
