Vinyl Chloride in the Workplace
 FREE Case Review
Vinyl Chloride has the dubious distinction of being one of the most reviled but useful chemicals ever developed. Unfortunately, because VC is so useful, many people have unwittingly been exposed to its harmful effects. In fact, it is estimated that some 80,000 workers come into contact with VC every day. Some of the common occupations exposed to vinyl chloride include:
- Railroad workers
- Truckers
- Plastic manufacturing workers
- Vinyl Chloride workers
- Hairdressers
- Roofers
- Plumbers
- Floorers
- Packers
- Anyone who works with large amounts of PVC plastic
Vinyl chloride is also found in quantities of cigarette smoke, making it one of the most commonly encountered toxic chemicals. If you were exposed to high levels of vinyl chloride at your job, you need to consult a lawyer immediately. You have rights.
