History of Four Corners Generating Station
The Four Corners Generating Station is one of the largest coal-fired power plants in the United States. Construction began in 1963, and the plant expanded over the following decades. During its construction and early operational years, asbestos was extensively used throughout the facility due to its heat-resistant properties essential for power generation.

Worker Exposure at Four Corners Generating Station
Power plant workers at Four Corners faced daily exposure to asbestos during boiler maintenance, pipe repairs, and turbine servicing. Insulation workers, pipefitters, boilermakers, and electricians were at highest risk. The confined spaces within the plant meant asbestos fibers could accumulate to dangerous concentrations. Workers often brought asbestos fibers home on their clothing, exposing family members to secondary asbestos exposure.
🏥 Health Impact on Workers
Multiple former Four Corners workers have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. The latency period of 20-50 years means workers exposed in the 1960s and 1970s may still be receiving diagnoses today.
Legal History & Compensation
Arizona Public Service and various asbestos product suppliers have faced litigation from former workers. Settlements have been reached in numerous cases, with some families receiving compensation after wrongful death claims.
📍 Current Status
The plant has undergone significant modifications to meet environmental regulations. Units 1, 2, and 3 were retired in 2013. Remaining units continue to operate with modern safety protocols. Asbestos abatement has been conducted, but workers in maintenance roles must still follow strict asbestos handling procedures when encountering legacy materials.
