Investigation Summary
On August 16, 1988, Employees #1, #2, and #3, pipefitters/welders, were preparing to remove a 3 ft section of pipe in a boiler house. Employee # 1 was cutting sections of the pipe while Employees #2 and #3 were removing sections to the next floor. As Employee #3 was lifting a 3 ft, 70 lb section of pipe, he dropped it on a PVC pipe containing cyclohexylamine. The chemical sprayed primarily on Employee #3's face, right arm, and right leg. Employees #1 and #2 allegedly inhaled the vapors, which caused breathing difficulty. Employee #2 was allegedly splashed on his hand and arm. The employees removed the chemical by using a nearby eyewash and shower unit. Employees #1 and #2 were transported to a local hospital and admitted.
