Asbestos Exposure in a Powerhouse Leads to MesotheliomaAttorney Joe Williams Explains

You've worked in powerhouses for a good part
of your career and you were exposed to asbestos and now you have mesothelioma. Hi. I'm Joe
Williams. I'm a mesothelioma trial attorney in New York City.

And I'd like to talk to
you about the types of exposure to asbestos that workers in powerhouses had. I'd like
to talk to you about a former client of mine who was a powerhouse worker, who was in what's
called "The Major Maintenance Gang" at one of the utilities here in New York (in New
York City). And his job entailed him going to every powerhouse in that particular utilities
system. So he's a good client to talk about because his job involved all the exposures
that a typical powerhouse worker would have.

So he was able to testify in his case about
exposure to asbestos on boilers. And having worked in powerhouses yourself, you know that
the boilers in a powerhouse are giant - some as tall as ten stories. And just covered and
filled with asbestos product including asbestos block, asbestos cement, asbestos gaskets,
asbestos refactoring. And this particular former client of mine talked about asbestos
pipe covering on the pipes throughout the powerhouses, as well as asbestos blankets
on the turbines attached with wire to the exterior of the turbines.

He talked about
asbestos containing flange gaskets used on almost every pipe in the entire powerhouse.
He discussed asbestos covering on various equipment like pumps and other types of equipment.
He talked about asbestos on valves. He talked about asbestos packing and gaskets used inside
of various types of equipment. And these are many of the exposures to asbestos that powerhouse
workers can have. But there are many more and I'm sure you have many questions about
the type of exposures to asbestos that a worker would have at a powerhouse.
