This project is intended to provide free
medical screening to former workers in
the building trades (construction workers).
The screening will target health problems
resulting from exposures, including asbestos,
beryllium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury,
noise, radiation, silica and/or solvents.
The project is to be carried out by a
large group led by The Center to Protect
Workers' Rights, an applied occupational
health research and development center
of the Building and Construction Trades
Department of the AFL-CIO, in partnership
with Duke University Medical Center, University
of Cincinnati Medical Center, and Zenith
Administrators.
