In this video, you’ll learn about asbestos exposure at Bethlehem Steel in Lackawanna, one of Western New York’s largest former employers. Attorney Mathew J. Morton explains how workers across various departments—including the Coke Ovens, Blast Furnaces, and South Buffalo Railway—were exposed to asbestos and harmful diesel exhaust.

Bethlehem Steel in Lackawanna was once one of the largest employers in Western New York. For decades, Lipsitz, Ponterio & Comerford has represented hundreds of workers from Bethlehem Steel who developed asbestos-related diseases.

Asbestos exposure occurred throughout the facility, regardless of the department. We have represented employees from the Coke Oven Department, the Open Hearths, the Basic Oxygen Furnace (B.O.F.), the Blast Furnaces, the various Bar Mills, the Pickle House, and even those responsible for managing the company’s vehicle fleets.

In addition, workers from the South Buffalo Railway, which operated throughout the Bethlehem Steel site, faced exposure not only to asbestos but also to harmful diesel exhaust.
