Investigation Summary
Sometime in the evening on February 5, 2004, Employees #1 and #2 were laying ceramic tile within a closed single family structure under construction. They were utilizing a gasoline-powered generator, Honda, Model Number EB3000, Serial Number GCAE-1932433, located in the garage to provide electricity for the electric powered mixing and cutting devices, which were used to affect the ceramic tile laying operation. Employees #1 and #2 were operating a gasoline-powered electric generator within a closed structure that lacked any exhaust ventilation devices. Since all doors and windows were closed, Employees #1 and #2 were exposed to a lethal concentration of carbon monoxide gas. They were asphyxiated. Employees #1 and #2 were found dead the following morning in the master bathroom of the single floor residence.
