How Can Coleman Truck Drivers Be Exposed to Asbestos?

Truck drivers can be exposed to asbestos through various avenues, including:

• Vehicle Maintenance: Asbestos was commonly used in the manufacturing of brake pads, clutch plates, and gaskets in older trucks. When these components deteriorate or are replaced, asbestos fibers can become airborne and be inhaled by mechanics and drivers during maintenance or repairs.
• Cargo Loading/Unloading: Some cargo, especially in construction and industrial sectors, may contain asbestos-containing materials. Handling, loading, or unloading such cargo can release asbestos fibers into the air.
• Environmental Exposure: Driving on roads where asbestos-containing materials were used in construction or renovation can lead to exposure if the materials have deteriorated over time.

It’s crucial for truck drivers to be aware of these potential exposure risks and take appropriate safety precautions. If exposed, seeking legal and medical assistance is essential for addressing any resulting health concerns.
