Summary Nr: 170171276 | Event: 01/10/1992 | Five Employees Suffer Chemical Exposure | ||||
The supervisor gave Employees #1 through #5, clerks, a can of Masury-Columbia Graffiti Remover to clean newly acquired used book cases. They sprayed the book cases and wiped them clean. The spray contained methyl benzene, 2-propanol, 2-butanone, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, carbon dioxide, and 1,2-ethanediol. Employees #1 through #5 were overcome by the chemical vapors, experiencing vomiting, shaking, and nausea. They had not been trained to use the solvent; it was not their regularly assigned job. Employees #1 through #5 went outside and then home. Fans were brought into office to ventilate the room. There were no long term effects. | ||||||
