Yarway Corporation

Yarway Corporation employees exposed to asbestos

Catering to the steam-power industry, Yarway Corporation, which was initially known as Simplex Engineering Company, had been using asbestos in their products for as long as six decades before the mineral was subjected to strict regulations. In addition to valves and gaskets, the company also manufactured expansion joints and steam traps, as well as automatic boiler skimmers, all of which would contain large amounts of toxic asbestos fibers. While thousands of former workers have already developed awful diseases as a result of occupational asbestos exposure, numerous other Yarway Corporation employees are expected to fall ill in the near future, as the risk never diminishes.

The occupations at the highest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of the asbestos exposure which occurred either at Yarway Corporation or through working with their products are:

• factory workers
• steamfitters and pipefitters/utilitiesmen
• machinists

Considering the fact that asbestos-related diseases may take a long time to develop, it's extremely important that anyone who has a history of asbestos exposure regularly monitor their health. In the interest of promoting the importance of early diagnosis, we are offering screenings free of charge for Yarway Corporation employees.

Secondary asbestos exposure, a serious concern for the family members of Yarway Corporation workers

Also known as domestic asbestos exposure, secondary asbestos exposure refers to instances in which people inhale or ingest carcinogenic fibers without being in direct contact with the source of contamination. During the last century, when the employment of asbestos was so common in U.S. industrial workplaces, the family members of those who were directly handling it on the job would inevitably be exposed via this route, which is just as dangerous as direct contact with the hazardous mineral. The spouses and children of Yarway Corporation workers are unfortunately no exception. Several decades after their first encounter with asbestos fibers, a significant number of secondarily exposed individuals came to suffer from harrowing diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.
