Investigation Summary
On September 30, 1992, Employee #1, the water plant operator, was changing a 150 lb chlorine cylinder. He had loosened the yoke around the cylinder when he was sprayed by a blast of chlorine vapors. The employee was asthmatic and the chlorine exposure triggered a fatal asthma attack. It appeared that Employee #1 tried to first remove the cylinder without closing the valve.
