Documented Asbestos Jobsites in California
Workers in California encountered asbestos at industrial and institutional sites of many kinds — power generation, refining and chemical processing, shipyards and military installations, railroads, manufacturing, and the schools and hospitals maintained by their trades. Asbestos insulation, gaskets, packing, refractory and friction products were standard at facilities of this type through the 1980s, and the men who installed, repaired and tore them out worked closest to the dust.
What these records are — and are not
The facility pages on this site are drawn from public records and from asbestos litigation filings. Each records what is documented about a specific site. Where a product or a manufacturer is named, it is named because it appears in those public records — reported as an allegation where the record is an allegation.
This is a floor, not a ceiling. If you worked somewhere that is not listed here, that means only that we have not documented it yet — not that asbestos was absent. Coverage grows as records surface, and gaps are the ordinary state of this work rather than a verdict on a site.

Filing deadlines
Asbestos filing deadlines are short, are strictly enforced, and run differently for personal-injury and wrongful-death claims. Confirm the deadline that applies to your situation with a licensed attorney who handles California claims — do not rely on this site to calculate it.
If you or a family member worked at a California facility
If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, or another asbestos-related disease following exposure at work, you may have a claim against the companies that made the asbestos products used at those sites.
