Mining & Excavation Equipment
Heavy mining equipment manufactured by P&H, Joy Global, Bucyrus-Erie, and others incorporated asbestos in brake systems, engine insulation, and hydraulic system heat shields. Underground mining equipment used in coal, metal, and mineral mining presented additional exposure risks when operated in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation. Equipment maintenance personnel who serviced brakes, engines, and hydraulic systems on this machinery received occupational asbestos exposure alongside miners themselves.
