Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170702542

Event: 06/14/1993

Employees exposed to ethylene oxide

Employees #1 and #3 were in the decontamination area when the 20 ppm alarm went off. Employee #3 left immediately. Within 10 minutes, Employee #2 shut off the ethylene oxide (eto). The eto was displaced by air changes for approximately 3 hours before the area could be reoccupied. Employees #1 through #3 showered. An AMSCO technical representative determined that a design defect, a missing seal in the line from an empty tank, was the source of the leak. A seal was installed.
