Employee Killed From Breathing In Fumes

On January 24, 2002, Employee #1 was using stripper to strip bathroom walls at a job site.

Employee #1 was not wearing respiratory protection and the local exhaust system was not on, when medical personnel arrived. The stripper contained methylene chloride, naptha, methanol, and isopropanol. He apparently died from breathing in the fumes contained in the stripper.
