Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:30 on June 6, 1992, Employees #1 through #6 were made ill by hydrocarbon vapors emitted from three 55-gallon drums that were spilled in the school yard. The drums contained toxic hydrocarbon residues and were being cleaned to store waste. The employer allowed the spilled residues of those substances to be cleaned by Employees #1 and #2, janitors, and yet did not provide personal protection equipment. Employees #1 and #2 suffered from inhalation of these vapors and required hospitalization. Employees #3, #4, #5, and #6, teachers, were affected and required medical treatment.
