You're an insulator. You've been working with asbestos products your entire career. But
you had no idea that asbestos caused cancer and now you have mesothelioma. Hi. I'm Joe
Williams. I'm a mesothelioma trial attorney in New York City. I want to talk to you about
the types of exposures that insulators have to asbestos. Now obviously insulators are
the trade that handles insulation products. Now I want to tell you about a client of mine
who was a member of Local 12, which is the Insulators Union here in New York City. He
worked with every type of asbestos insulation that you can imagine. He used insulation at
huge power houses here in New York to insulate large, high temperature steam pipes. H worked
with insulation that was applied in block form to boilers. He worked with refractoring
that was used in boilers. He worked with insulating cement that was used to insulate all types
of equipment in power houses here in New York. He also handled asbestos containing blankets
and applied them to equipment such as turbines. He used these types of blankets and asbestos
cement on other equipment like pumps. And we also know that insulators used spray-on
insulation on the steel high beams in large commercial structures. And that asbestos was
a dry product that was mixed with water through the use of a spray gun and the asbestos insulation
was sprayed onto the steel high beams of large structures. Now these are just some of the
exposures to asbestos that insulators would have had during the course of their working
career. And there are many more and I'm sure you have many questions about how insulators
were exposed to asbestos. I'm Joe Williams and at our office we handle cases from mesothelioma
victims every day and we've represented many, many insulators. I invite you to look at the
number below on the screen, call our office and we'll answer your questions. Thank you.
