🗂️ Army Corps Project Managers Asbestos Exposure

Frequent site visits increased asbestos exposure risk.

For decades, Army Corps of Engineers project managers were exposed to asbestos-containing materials while overseeing large federal construction and infrastructure projects. Project managers worked across military bases, dams, flood-control systems, hospitals, power plants, shipyards, waterways, and overseas facilities, many of which were built or renovated during peak asbestos use.

Although project managers were not typically performing hands-on labor, their roles required constant presence at active job sites, coordination with contractors, inspections, progress reviews, and emergency response oversight. Asbestos was present in insulation, fireproofing, cement products, pipe lagging, boilers, HVAC systems, electrical equipment, and heavy machinery. Repeated exposure during site supervision placed many project managers at risk for mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis, often diagnosed 20–50 years after exposure.
