There are numerous other occupational settings where workers may risk exposure to benzene and other toxic solvents and chemicals on the job. Here are a few examples:
In shoe manufacturing, benzene is used in the process of cementing rubber soles to shoes. Some of the earliest reports of blood poisoning as a result of benzene exposure arose from studies of workers in the shoe manufacturing industry.
In foundries, workers can be exposed to benzene containing products through the use of solvents to clean various machines. Benzene is also used as a component in the paint sprayed on molded parts in the finishing process. Painters, laborers, maintenance workers and line workers are a few examples of trades that could be exposed to benzene.
In the railroad industry, brakemen who spot tank cars in petroleum refining and petrochemical facilities that use, store, manufacture, and/or distribute benzene and/or benzene-containing products risk exposure to benzene.
