Incident on Nov 7, 2005 (fatal): Employee killed by heart attack after chemical exposure
After lunch on November 7, 2005, Employee #1 complained of chest tightness, hear t burn, and trouble breathing. At approximately 1:30 p.m., a supervisor instruct ed him to go to the hospital. Employee #1 walked to his car, collapsed in the pa rking lot and died. Jackson County Medical Examiner determined the cause of deat h was a heart attack. Employee #1 had sprayed HDI-containing liquids for approxi mately five years prior to death. HDI is a sensitizer and can result in severe, life threatening asthma attacks due to hypersensitivity pneumonitis. The employe r manufactured aftermarket automotive and truck panels and equipment. Two separa te coating operations utilized isocyanate formulas as hardening agents. An autom otive spray coating process used hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and methylene bisphenyl isocyanate (MDI) containing hardeners during multiple two part paint a pplications. MDI was also used as the hardener in a large foam panel spray coati ng process that resulted in a bed liner type coated panel. Main hazards and issu es involved employee respiratory and skin protection during exposure to HDI and MDI. Material safety data sheets were not maintained. The respiratory protection program was not appropriate for the exposure, respirator type, use of respirato rs, or fit testing. In addition, respirator use ranged from half face air purify ing respirators to supplied air respirators with a hood and tight fitting full f ace piece.
