Investigation Summary
On October 8, 1994, Employee #1 was moving loaded pallets in a potato cold storage room with a propane powered forklift. He remained inside the cooler from 12:30 p.m. until 2:30 p.m., at which time he complained of feeling ill and said he was going home. His supervisor, who had witnessed a previous carbon monoxide poisoning incident, told Employee #1 he would need to see a doctor. She activated the emergency medical plan by radioing her supervisor, who summoned the paramedics. After he was administered oxygen, Employee #1 was flown to Providence Medical Center, where he was admitted from the emergency room to the hyperbaric chamber. He spent two hours there and was then discharged.
