(PRWEB) October 17, 2013 -- The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "We are urging all individuals who know they had extreme exposure to asbestos in the workplace in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s, and have been advised to have annual medical checkups, to do one other thing. We want this person to create a journal of all of the places and times they may have come into contact with asbestos."

The Mesothelioma Victims Center believes the asbestos exposure journal should include the following:

  • The journal should include all workplaces. In the instance of Veterans, US Navy ships where the individual may have come into contact with asbestos should be noted. These journal entries should be as specific as possible. Include dates and the types of equipment that may have been involved in the asbestos exposure.
  • If possible, the journal should also include the names and possible the contact information for anyone in the same workplace(s) who witnessed the exposure.
  • The journal should include the name and contact information for: any coworker, foreman, shop steward, commanding officer, or non commissioned officer that made the recommendation.

Over the years the Mesothelioma Victims Center has talked with families of hundreds of individuals diagnosed with mesothelioma. These families did not always have the specifics for the victim's workplace exposure to asbestos. The group is now urging individuals who were warned to get annual medical screening for asbestos related illnesses such as mesothelioma or asbestosis, to create this journal in the event the potential victim or family should ever need it.
