Brake and clutch repair work in the general industry standard is the activity engaged in by the largest group of asbestos exposed workers
Brake and clutch repair work in the general industry standard is the activity engaged in by the largest group of asbestos exposed workers, although most of them are exposed sporadically and at low levels. Next largest are custodial workers who do not perform their duties as part of construction activities, but clean surfaces, sweep, buff, vacuum floors, and wash walls and windows in manufacturing plants and a wide variety of public and commercial buildings.

 



Minnesota Worker's Compensation Lawyers are attorneys who specialize in Workers Compensation law and all aspects relating to that field.

Workers' Compensation laws are designed to ensure that employees who are injured or disabled on the job are provided with fixed monetary compensation; thus, eliminating the need for frivolous litigation. But sometimes companies and private employers subvert these laws and fail to pay sufficient money to those injured or disabled on the job.
