Asbestos exposure is most likely at shipyards, electric power plants and steam tunnels, breweries, hospitals, schools, shopping malls, paper mills and other heavy industrial plants. Trades at great risk of asbestos exposure include construction workers such as: pipe fitters, insulators, plasterers, cement masons, bricklayers, carpenters, steam fitters, plumbers, and laborers. Exposure occurs at steel mills for all workers.
