Investigation Summary
On November 20, 2000, Employee #1, #2 and #3 (carpenters) had finished replacing a concrete floor located on the Sixth floor of a building, when one of the employees dislodged a .5 in. tubing of a nitrogen purge line entering the oxidation vessel. The dislodged tube released chlorine gas from the vessel. The gas diffused into a nearby area where two other employees (ironworkers) were within a basket connected to the Sixth floor. They were removing the temporary platform of renovated floor. Both of these employees and Employee #1 were exposed to the toxic vapors, resulting in conjunctiva and respiratory irritation and injuries. They were transported to the hospital and underwent treatment for acute dermal and systemic inhalation poisoning.
