Asbestos has been used heavily in metal refining operations, steel mills, and foundries.

In fact, according to the Asbestos Resource Center, steel and iron workers are among the highest risk of asbestos exposure.
California Steel Workers have been heavily exposed to asbestos. Steam pipes, boilers, high temperature refractory furnace linings, insulation steam pipes, boilers, smelters, and steel ovens were protected by asbestos. Asbestos blankets and cloths were used to regulate the rate of cooling of metal castings.
