Asbestos Jobsites: Where Exposure Often Occurred

Asbestos use at thousands of jobsites across the U.S. put workers at risk for mesothelioma and other asbestos diseases.

For decades, asbestos was widely used in many industries because of its strength, heat resistance, and low cost. As a result, countless workers inhaled or ingested toxic asbestos fibers on the job often without knowing it.

Although workplace asbestos use has declined due to federal regulations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), it hasn’t been fully eliminated. In 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule banning chrysotile asbestos, the only type still used in the United States. Some industries will have a phase-out period, with certain uses permitted for up to 12 more years as companies transition.

Occupational asbestos exposure remains a serious health concern. Workers at asbestos jobsites continue to face risks of diseases like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Even brief exposure can lead to illness decades later. In many cases, family members were also exposed when asbestos fibers were unknowingly carried home on clothing or gear.

Top Industries and Jobsites With a History of Asbestos Use

For decades, asbestos was common in construction, shipyards, factories, and other industrial sites. Today, many older jobsites still contain asbestos, and exposure continues to put workers and their families at risk of serious illness.

Research from a CDC- and NIOSH-supported analysis from the National Mesothelioma Virtual Bank shows that people diagnosed with mesothelioma most frequently worked in construction and manufacturing, where asbestos was widely used in insulation, equipment, and building materials.

Top industries for asbestos exposure risk include:

Many older jobsites still contain asbestos in insulation, roofing, flooring, piping, machinery, and vehicle parts. Workers involved in renovation, demolition, repairs, or clean-up activities may still face significant asbestos exposure risks, especially when old materials are disturbed and fibers become airborne.

High-Risk Asbestos Exposure Locations

• Military Bases: The U.S. armed forces relied heavily on asbestos across all branches, using it at military bases, in aircraft, ships, and military vehicles. This widespread use led to high exposure risks, particularly for Navy veterans.
• Oil Refineries: Oil refinery workers like pipefitters, boiler makers, welders were often exposed to asbestos used in insulation, machinery, and protective gear.
• Chemical Plants: Asbestos was used in chemical processing equipment and high-temperature areas for insulation and corrosion resistance. Workers were exposed through piping, valves, gaskets, and machinery maintenance.
• Steel Mills: Steel mills supply essential products for industries like construction, automotive, and the military. Workers such as welders, casters, and furnace operators often faced asbestos exposure through machinery and equipment.
• Shipyards: Due to its fireproof and insulating qualities, asbestos was a standard material in ship construction prior to the 1980s. Both Navy personnel and private shipyard workers were routinely exposed while working with asbestos-based products like pipe lagging, gaskets, insulation, and coatings.
• Aluminum Plants: Asbestos insulated high-heat equipment like furnaces and casting machinery. Workers involved in smelting, casting, and maintenance faced routine exposure to airborne asbestos fibers.
• Navy Ships: U.S. Navy ships contained asbestos in boiler rooms, engine rooms, and living quarters. Sailors and shipyard workers were frequently exposed during maintenance and overhauls.
• Auto Repair Shops: Mechanics often faced asbestos exposure when handling parts like brake pads, clutches, and gaskets, which once contained asbestos to reduce heat and fire risk.
• Construction Sites: Older buildings were built with asbestos-containing materials, including insulation, cement, flooring, drywall, and roof products. Workers handling these asbestos-containing products during initial construction, renovations or demolition were often exposed to hazardous fibers.

These industries and jobsites represent some of the most common sources of occupational asbestos exposure, where workers continue to face serious long-term health risks.
