Accident Investigation Summary | ||||||
| Summary Nr: 200710630 | Event: 08/19/1998 | Two Employees Die Of Exposure To Hydrogen Sulfide | ||||
| Employees #1 and #2 were part of a construction crew building an extension sewer line that was to tap into an existing city line. The crew had exposed one side of a manhole in the city sewer line and a subcontractor had core-drilled a hole in it for placement of the new line. Some concrete remained intact after the drilling was completed. Employee #1 was lowered into the manhole using a chain draped over a rock bar. He was immediately overcome by the high levels of hydrogen sulfide. Employee #2 attempted to rescue him but was also overcome by the fumes. Both workers were killed. | ||||||
