Investigation Summary
At 10:30 a.m. on March 29, 2021, Employee #1 was tending to livestock in Farmhouse 8 with two other coworkers, while a fourth coworker was cleaning Farmhouse 7 using a Hotsy Pressure Washer. The Pressure Washer was inadequately ventilated, leading to a buildup of carbon monoxide. Employee #1 fainted as a result of the exposure. Coworkers assisted the employee out of the farmhouse, and emergency services were called. The employee was hospitalized. The Hotsy Pressure Washer is located in the supply room between Farmhouse 7 and 8. The incident was caused by overexposure to carbon monoxide from the exhaust of the Pressure Washer.
