Fisher Body Division Gm Detroit Michigan
Fisher Body Division Gm Detroit Michigan operated as a automotive / manufacturing plant. This crosswalk describes the equipment systems and asbestos-containing material categories historically associated with facilities of this type during the asbestos era.
This crosswalk identifies the major equipment systems and building material categories historically associated with facilities of this type and era. Entries are industry-system associations — the standard equipment and material configurations for facilities of this type. No entry constitutes a finding that any specific product was present at this facility. Individual exposure depends on work dates, job classification, duties, and proximity to disturbance activities.
Equipment Systems & Where Asbestos Was Used
At a automotive / manufacturing plant, automotive and heavy-manufacturing plants ran powerhouses, heat-treat and paint ovens, presses, and insulated steam and process piping. The asbestos-containing material categories historically associated with these systems include: pipe & oven insulation, gaskets & packing, friction materials, fireproofing.
Workers who operated, maintained, and rebuilt this equipment — and workers in adjacent areas — could be exposed when insulation, gaskets, packing, or refractory were disturbed during installation, repair, tear-out, and demolition.
Exposed Trades
Insulators, pipefitters, boilermakers, millwrights, maintenance mechanics, electricians, laborers, and operating engineers historically worked around these asbestos-containing systems. Building and outside trades brought in for construction, outages, and turnarounds were also exposed.
