Investigation Summary
On October 6, 1994, Employee #1, working in the surgical wing at the Tri County Baptist Hospital, was exposed to ethylene oxide gas from the sterilizer room. The monitor in the sterilizer room read 77 ppm, according to Employee #1. The solenoid from the boiler had failed, and a bad gasket released the gas throughout the surgical wing. Employees #2 through #5 (three nurses and one maintenance employee who was performing daily routine maintenance) were also exposed. Tri County Baptist Hospital employees participated in an emergency response until the La Grange fire department arrived on site. None of the exposed employees required hospitalization.
