Investigation Summary
At 2:00 p.m. on July 29, 2015, an employee, a 30 year old male laborer, was refinishing a bathtub for the housing authority. The employee was working alone at this particular worksite and poured a chemical containing methylene chloride into the bathtub, brushed it onto the sides, and scraped the bathtub as part of a deglazing process. The door was closed to help prevent vapors from spreading to the rest of the house, and a window in the bathroom was propped open with a can of shaving cream. The employee was found hunched over the bathtub by the home leaseholder. The employee was killed by methylene chloride exposure while using Savogran Superstrip.
