Members were dispatched to the rubber-plant boiler houses and process steam-distribution systems, the Canton steel mills, Babcock \u0026amp; Wilcox Barberton (boilermaker), the Timken Bearing complex, and the major Northeast Ohio hospitals.\nState-Specific Legal Resources For Ohio\u0026rsquo;s filing deadlines, primary courts, and the per-state jobsite catalog, see the partner state archive:\nOhio Asbestos Exposure archive Notable workplaces in Local 84 territory Through the asbestos era (roughly 1920s through early 1980s), Local 84 members were dispatched to facilities throughout Northeast Ohio — many of which are now documented in federal NESHAP filings, state regulatory databases, and public asbestos litigation records. Major workplaces in the Local 84 historical territory included:\nGoodyear Tire \u0026amp; Rubber Akron complex · Firestone Tire \u0026amp; Rubber Akron · BFGoodrich Akron · General Tire \u0026amp; Rubber Akron · Babcock \u0026amp; Wilcox Barberton works (industrial boiler manufacturing) · Timken Roller Bearing Canton plants · Republic Steel Canton · Hoover Company North Canton · Diebold Canton · the Ravenna Arsenal · East Ohio Gas / Dominion Energy facilities · FirstEnergy generating stations (Sammis, Bay Shore, Eastlake — accessed via outage work) · Akron General Medical Center · Summa Akron City Hospital · Aultman Hospital Canton · Mercy Medical Center Canton · the Cuyahoga Valley industrial corridor.\nThese are categories of workplace, not an exhaustive list. Local 84 dispatch records held by the Local\u0026rsquo;s business office contain the specific job-by-job assignments for individual members.\nWhy this Local matters for asbestos claims The Akron rubber complex — Goodyear, Firestone, BFGoodrich, General Tire — represents one of the most-extensively-documented industrial-asbestos workplace clusters in American litigation records. Tire-curing presses, vulcanizing rooms, and process steam-distribution networks at these plants required continuous insulation work across decades. Babcock \u0026amp; Wilcox Barberton was simultaneously a manufacturer of industrial boilers and a site of extensive on-site insulation work. The Canton steel and bearing-manufacturing complexes are similarly documented in litigation records.\nProducts Local 84 insulators handled Insulators in any jurisdiction worked the same general categories of asbestos-containing products through the asbestos era.
