Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14262554
Event: 05/11/1992
Employees exposed to carbon monoxide emitting from buffer

A defective propane-fired 5 hp floor buffer used in a Save-a-Lot grocery store was emitting high levels of carbon monoxide. Employees' carboxyhemoglobin levels elevated to 17 1/2 then to 23 percent approximately 2 to 3 hours after initial exposure. Employees #1, #2, and #3 were treated at the hospital emergency room. They were released when their carboxyhemoglobin levels returned to 3 to 5 percent; they returned to work the next day. The buffer was sent out for repair. It was emitting more than 230 ppm of carbon monoxide. A properly functioning buffer emits only 0 to 2 ppm.
