Southern Tier asbestos exposure research
Start with the Southern Tier workplace, trade, town or approximate years you remember. H&S connects those details to source-led facility records and the next questions that can make the history more specific.
Workplaces and records to explore
Goudey Power Station — Johnson City
EPA records document asbestos conditions and cleanup at the former coal-fired power station.
Occupations and trades
Follow the remembered job or task when a facility record is incomplete.
Power-generation work
Explore equipment, maintenance and trade pathways common to power-generation settings.
The details that make a workplace memory useful
Place and time
Employer, plant, building, department, project and approximate years.
Work
Trade, job title, daily duties, shutdowns, repairs and work done by nearby crews.
Equipment and materials
Boilers, piping, valves, pumps, turbines, electrical equipment, insulation and building materials remembered from the work.
Start with the memory, then follow the evidence
This regional research will grow as reliable public sources make additional workplaces useful. H&S would rather publish a smaller number of well-supported records than fill the map with names that do not yet help an individual investigation.
