Dataset Overview
The U.S. Shipyard Asbestos Exposure Dataset v1.6 contains 118 verified findings across 37 shipyards with 87 documented asbestos products. The successor release adds only selected, establishment-specific official OSHA inspection and sampling records; those administrative records are not generalized conclusions about individual exposure, dose, causation, product source, or liability.
Every record is sourced to a primary record, including PubMed, NIOSH, EPA, NARA, official OSHA, or court materials. This is a purely academic and journalistic resource for attorneys, journalists, expert witnesses, and researchers investigating occupational asbestos exposure in the American shipbuilding industry.
