Investigation Summary
On March 31, 1995, a packing house supervisor was outside pumping liquid sodium hypochlorite from drums into a storage tank and accidentally pumped some into the adjacent phosphoric acid tank. This created a cloud of chlorine or acid gas that drifted into the packing area where employees were working. Employees #1 through #43 inhaled the chlorine vapors. Employees #1 through #8 required hospitalization.
