Investigation Summary
At 7:58 a.m. on May 17, 1995, Employee #1, of Multiple Plant Services, Inc., was applying QSC 713 VOC primer inside an approximately 16 foot deep hole. He was overcome by organic vapors, and suffered nausea and dizziness before losing consciousness. Employee #1 was taken to Queen of Angels, Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital, Los Feliz, CA, for treatment and hospitalization. The causal factors of the accident were that the atmosphere of the hole was not tested for entry and the respirator cartridge (TC-21C-244) was not approved for protection against organic vapors.
