Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:00 a.m. on April 12, 1991, two welders used several pieces of fiberglass blanket to cover a heated axle on which they had been working. The blanket began to smoke, creating what was described as a billowing cloud of smoke. The smoking continued for between 10 and 20 minutes before the blankets were removed. Employees #1 through #6 were working nearby and became sick from the smell and the smoke. They were hospitalized, suffering from vomiting, nausea, eye irritation, sore throats, and headaches.
