Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:00 p.m. on April 3, 1991, Employee #1, of Stanford University, was removing a 1-gallon bottle of benzene from the back of a shelf for a chemist who was waiting outside the storage area. Employee #1 was having difficulty because other items were in front of the bottle. When the bottle struck the shelf's retaining lip, it broke. Employee #1 was exposed to benzene vapors and remained in the storage room for approximately 5 minutes, at which time the chemist told him to leave the area.
