Investigation Summary
At 1:45 p.m. on January 8, 2017, two employees were simultaneously pouring two five gallon buckets of 34% hydrogen peroxide and a catalyst down a floor drain. This caused a violent chemical reaction that that caused liquid and gas to erupt from the floor drain and exposed the two employees to gases and corrosive liquid chemicals. Employee #1 was hospitalized with face, neck, and arm burns. Employee #2 was treated and released from the local hospital.
