Asbestos exposure isn’t just a workplace hazard — for thousands of hardworking Americans, it became a hidden threat that stole years from their lives.

Across decades, countless workers unknowingly breathed in or handled asbestos on job sites, believing they were simply earning an honest living. Construction workers, shipbuilders, industrial laborers, and insulation installers were especially at risk — touching materials every day that would later lead to devastating illnesses like mesothelioma.
