Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on April 25, 1991, Employee #1 was exposed to hydrogen sulfide gas while he was water washing down an alki unit vessel at the Golden West Refinery in Santa Fe Springs. He lost consciousness and fell to the work platform floor. He was transported to Whittier Presbyterian Hospital for treatment. No monitoring of the presence of airborne contaminants in the work area was done prior to or during the wash-down. Similar work in the past at this refinery did not result in any overexposure.
