Construction Firm Responsible for Workers Asbestos Exposure

Wisconsin-based construction company J. P. Cullen & Sons wrote a $25,000 check (in addition to attorney fees and court costs) for their multiple violations of state law this week. Incredibly, J. P. Cullen & Sons put their employees at serious risk of injury and death when they demolished an asbestos-based plaster ceiling before inspecting the material beforehand or notifying state officials, two steps Wisconsin law requires.

Asbestos, a commonly used construction material between the 1930s and 1970s is a component found in thousands of buildings across the country. Today, as many of those buildings undergo significant remodeling and reconstruction, careless companies and their managers, such as J. P. Cullen & Sons, are putting employees and contractor workers in harm's way by failing to take appropriate, state-mandated safety precautions.
