Investigation Nr: 14515233

Event: 10/25/1990

Employee killed when he ingests liquid benzene

Employee #1 and another employee whom he was training were attempting to load liquid benzene into several rail tank cars. Employee #1 removed the loading pipe cap and was struck in the face by liquid benzene, which a customer mistakenly left in the tank car. Employee #1, who was not wearing his respirator as required, died. His scheduled 3 weeks of training had been shortened to 2 weeks because of scheduling problems, and he was apparently unable to recognize the hazardous conditions.
