Oil Refinery Workers & Mesothelioma

Asbestos Exposure Risks at Refineries

Oil refineries process and refine crude oil into more useful products such as petroleum, nylon, gasoline, kerosene, plastics, tar, asphalt and more. Specific industries associated with employing oil refinery workers and petroleum engineers include:

Petroleum and coal manufacturing
Oil and gas extraction
Pipeline transportation of natural gas or crude oil
Support activities for mining

Because the equipment these professionals commonly work on can contain asbestos, oil refinery workers are at an increased risk of developing mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases.

Mesothelioma Lawsuits for Oil Refinery Workers

Because mesothelioma has such a long latency period, oil refinery workers who worked in oil refineries before 1980 are most at risk for developing the disease. Workers who were exposed to asbestos 10, 20, even 50 years ago are just now beginning to experience mesothelioma symptoms.
