Investigation Summary
At approximately 5:00 p.m. on October 8, 1990, Employees #1 through #7 began displaying symptoms of chemical exposure such as lightheadedness, headaches, stomach pains, and nausea due to an overheated transformer. The transformer was apparently exhausting gases with a strong odor. Eventually the employer turned off this transformer, evacuated the building, and sent the employees to the hospital. The medical records from each affected employee indicated good physical health and carboxyhemoglobin levels within the proper range.
