Incident on Apr 16, 1992 (fatal): Two employees asphyxiated in manhole, one dies
At approximately 11:30 a.m. on April 16, 1992, Employee #1 entered a 15 ft 9 in. deep manhole that was part of a new sewer line installation project in order to plug two sewer lines with wing nut plugs. Employee #2 and a third employee were at the top of the manhole watching as Employee #1 entered the hole and inserted one plug near the top, then proceeded down the ladder to the bottom to install the second plug, which took approximately 4 minutes to install. Employee #1 then stated he was hot, started up the ladder, and fell unconscious to the floor. Em ployee #2 entered the manhole and attempted to sit Employee #1 upright. Employee #2 then began feeling faint and started up the ladder to exit. A little more th an halfway up he passed out and was left hanging from the ladder. The third empl oyee then ran for help. A superintendent tied a rope around himself, held his br eath, and rescued Employee #2, who was transported to the hospital, where, after undergoing a blood gas test, he was treated for carbon monoxide exposure. Emplo yee # 1 died from acute carbon monoxide poisoning before he was retrieved from t he manhole. The company had no confined space entry procedure in place for this particular job site because they did not consider new manholes to reasonably pos e a risk to workers. No measuring equipment was used to detect toxic or combusti ble gases and oxygen levels. No mechanical ventilation was used. No rescue equip ment was available.
