Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170585541
Event: 11/10/1994
Employee injured by inhalation of chlorine gas

Employee #1, a janitor for H-F Drilling, was preparing a bleach solution in the janitor's storage closet at the H-F Drilling facility. He poured bleach into a spray bottle to use for carpet cleaning, but unbeknownst to him the spray bottle contained residual Lime-Away, an acid-based cleaner. A chemical reaction occurred immediately, releasing chlorine gas. Employee #1 suffered severe respiratory distress and was transported to a local hospital. He remained out of work and under doctor's treatment as of five weeks after the accident.
