Investigation Summary
Workers were at their job stations packing meat. The employees of an outside contractor were operating gasoline chop saws near the workers for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The exhaust from the chop saw motors was not vented outside, the air-conditioned area did not have any makeup air, and the exterior doors were kept closed due to USDA regulations. The meat packing employees were walking through the fumes and were exposed to carbon monoxide. Employees #1 through #7 experienced increased blood pressure and red skin. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
