Abstract
A study among insulation workers in a shipyard has revealed several men on disability compensation and one death due to asbestosis. Exposures occur during the fabrication and installation of asbestos insulations and during removal of insulation for repairs or overhaul of ships. X-ray examinations are not adequate for control as cases usually take a minimum of seven years to develop.
