There are numerous types of engineers including chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, civil engineers and industrial engineers. While on the job, these engineers most likely worked in different environments with different types of equipment and products. A common thread, however, was the fact that they were all susceptible to suffering from asbestos exposure to one degree or another especially in the mid to late 20th century.
Through their work on industrial, commercial and residential construction sites, many engineers were likely to come into direct contact with asbestos products including plaster, drywall, paint, insulation, ceiling and floor tiles and electrical wiring.
As a result, engineers were exposed to health risks that increase their chances of developing mesothelioma, lung cancer and other asbestos-related cancers later in life.
Many engineers were also members of engineering unions and we have listed some of these unions for your reference below.
