Boilermakers and Asbestos Exposure
All of the major manufacturers have used asbestos for fire-retardant insulation, mortar, and gaskets, including Babcock & Wilcox, Combustion Engineering, Foster Wheeler, and Kewanee. Pipes leading to and from boilers were wrapped with asbestos insulation. In addition, the boiler walls were covered with asbestos materials, and doors and gaskets were lined with materials containing asbestos.
Because of the confined spaces and poor ventilation of many boiler rooms, boiler repair and maintenance workers are especially prone to asbestos exposure.
