At 6:30 a.m. on June 7, 2018, Employee #1 put a hot forge in a metal container that was lined with a rubber material. The heat of the forge caused the material to melt and produce a by product fume. The by product fume caused the employee and coworkers to begin to experience shortness of breath and lung irritation. The employee and four coworkers were exposed to the chemical but no one was hospitalized.
