Investigation Summary
On August 1, 2006, Employee #1 was abrasively blasting truck racks with a breathing apparatus, air-supplied helmet. The breathing air was supplied to the helmet from a Sullair compressor, which was positioned on a truck trailer bed and located near its exhaust. As Employee #1 blasted the racks, exhaust flowed into his breathing apparatus, suffocating him. He died from asphyxia.
