Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 p.m. on May 13, 1992, Employees #1 through #6 were working on a pipeline removing a petroleum-based cover and asbestos sheathing. Exposure to the sun's radiant heat, together with the petroleum, caused the employees' skin to react. Employees #1 through #6 were admitted to the hospital for observation and treatment of dermatitis. After the incident, employees were provided with a barrier cream and long coveralls.
