AT APPROXIMATELY 10 AM ON JUNE 30, 1986, EMPLOYEE #2 AND ANOTHER EMPLOYEE WERE TRANSFERRING AND HANDLING SOME SOLVENTS (KEROSENE, METHYLPOLYSILOXANE RESIN SOULTION AND 107 TOLUENE) IN A PAIL AND BUCKET.

EMPLOYEES #1, #4 AND #5 WERE AFFECTED BECAUSE THE THE THREE OTHER EMPLOYEES TURNED ON A FAN TO DRY THE FLOOR AND INADVERTENTLY BLEW THE SOLVENT FUMES INTO THESE WORKER'S AREA.
