OIL RIG ASBESTOS CLAIMS
During the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s asbestos products and fibers were used in drilling mud.  If you worked offshore on an oil rig or on land around a drilling rig from the 1960s through the mid 1980s it is very likely that you were exposed to asbestos products and even pure asbestos fibers.
One of the main uses of asbestos in connection with drilling mud was to add pure asbestos fibers into the drilling mud.  These asbestos fibers gave the drilling mud a thicker consistency and also provided some fireproof protection qualities.  Unfortunately, the workers who were required to dump bags of asbestos fibers into the drilling mud were never provided with proper protective equipment.  Many of these workers literally breathed in pure asbestos fibers while working offshore, on drilling barges or even on land drilling rigs.
