Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 896902
Event: 01/27/1998
Employee injured by chemical discharge

Employee #1 was removing a resin pin from a fiberglass spray gun so that she could clean and service the respirator. When she pulled back the operational pin, a small amount of trapped air was released, discharging residual resin and methyl ethyl ketone. The material sprayed onto Employee #1's head and face, and some got around her safety glasses and into her eyes. She was transported to the hospital to have her eyes flushed. Employee #1 returned to work two days later, with no apparent adverse effects from the accident.
