Brewing Companies and Asbestos Exposure
Some of the largest brewing companies in America have rich histories dating as far back as the late 1800’s. The plants that these breweries operated out of were constructed at a time when asbestos was a popular fire-proofing and insulating material. In fact, it was the material of choice for virtually all applications that required heat resistance, insulation or fire proof capability. As a result, the materials and products used in the construction of the physical plants as well as the manufacturing equipment running inside of them contained asbestos. This put brewery workers, including plant and equipment maintenance workers, at risk of asbestos exposure which is known to cause the fatal cancer called mesothelioma.
Provided below is a list of brewing companies by state for your reference. If you worked at any one of these brewing companies there is a chance that you may have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk of developing an asbestos-related disease.
