Incident on Dec 13, 1999: Eight employees injured when exposed to carbon monoxide
Employees #1 through #8 were working for a company engaged in resin coating of p orous castings on a job-shop basis. They began to experience symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure and were transported to the hospital emergency room. Blood-gas readings of between 7 and 24 percent were obtained, and Employees #1, #3 throug h #5, and #7 were admitted for treatment in a hyperbaric chamber. There were no permanent effects from the exposure. Back-calculation from the blood-gas reading s suggest carbon monoxide exposures of between 50 and 233 ppm. The company was t he only occupant in the single-story 100 ft by 100 ft building. Subsequent inves tigation determined that the source of the problem was a combination of a natura l gas-fired boiler, two natural gas-fired heaters, and two propane-powered forkl ifts. There was a negative pressure in the building due to exhaust fans in the r oof and side wall. The primary source of exposure was traced to combustion produ cts from the boiler being sucked into the building by the exhaust fans.
