Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was assigned to apply a waterproofing priming material containing methyl chloroform and 1,4-dioxane to the foundation of a private residence which his employer had completed building 6 months ago. The foundation had been leaking so the builder and Employee #1 dug an 82 in. by 32 in. by 6 ft 4 in. deep trench in the L corner of the house, where the leaks had been found. Employee #1 was left alone inside the trench to apply the primer with a roller. He was found dead in the trench later that day by the employer. The autopsy revealed the cause of death as 1,1,1-trichloroethane intoxication. No material safety data sheet had been obtained; no testing of the atmosphere in the trench had been performed before or during the work; and no respiratory protection or ventilation had been provided.
