Investigation Summary
Employees #1, #2, and #3, temporary laborers, were removing wet hides from a large mixer. The hides were being tanned with a liquid compound containing lime, sodium hydrosulfide, and sodium hydroxide. Over a two hour period, some of the liquid worked its way through the employees' clothing and rubber gloves. Their arms were abraded and the lime in the solution burned the lower layers of their skin. Employees #1, #2, and #3 were taken to the hospital, where Employee #3 was treated and released. Employees #1 and #2 were kept overnight.
