Employee dies from overexposure to trichloroethylene

On February 14, 1992, Employee #1 was attempting to clean a spray booth by spraying trichloroethylene onto its walls. He was working alone without a respirator. He was found unconscious by coworkers. It appeared that when Employee #1 collapsed, he knocked over the container of trichloroethylene, thereby soaking his clothing. The autopsy indicated excessive amounts of trichloroethylene in Employee #1's brain.
