Electricians Union

Electricians working in construction environments, often alongside contractors, painters and carpenters were likely to encounter airborne asbestos while on the job.
These tradespeople and other construction professionals were involved with new construction as well as the demolition of older structures. Not only did Electricians work in typical construction environments, many also worked side-by-side with boilermakers and shipbuilders on vessels.
Integral in any construction site, Electricians drilled holes into contaminated dry wall, ceiling or floor tiles and insulation. Other asbestos products that Electricians encountered included electrical cloth, paint mixed with heat retardant compounds and cement products. The dust created from their routine work, in many instances, contained asbestos that they may have unknowingly inhaled. As a result, many electrical workers were faced with the possibility of developing asbestos-related diseases later in life. Many were also members of Electricians Unions. We have listed some of these unions below for your reference.
