Roofing Materials
Asbestos-containing roofing felt, shingles, and built-up roofing membranes were the standard industrial and commercial roofing materials through the 1970s. Roofing mechanics who cut, torched, and removed this material — and demolition workers who stripped old roofs — were directly exposed. Johns-Manville, Flintkote, GAF, and Celotex dominated this market.
