Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:50 p.m. on March 20, 1997, Employees #1 through #6, who worked for a contracted cleaning crew, were exposed to ammonia that was released from a Viking Pump on a refrigeration system. They were transported to Sterling Regional Medical Center, where they were admitted and remained overnight. The pump may have run out of oil, which resulted in a failed gasket. Airborne ammonia concentrations were measured to 31 ppm.
