| Summary Nr: 14299457 | Event: 12/17/1985 | Employee Inhales To Toxic Gas | ||||
| Employee #1 was about 5 to 10 feet away from a leak that occurred during the installation of silicon tetra fluoride gas to the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. The gas seeped through the connection between the shut-off valve and the regulator because of stripped threads on the pipe nipple. It was dissipated throughout the room toward Employee #1 by a cooling fan on an instrument behind the leak. The fan was blowing air past the cylinder. Employee #1 inhaled some of the toxic gas and complained of a burning sensation in his throat and chest. He was taken to the hospital for examination. | ||||||
