Employee suffers chest pain and collapses

On April 29, 2002, an employee complained of pain and heartburn in his left arm and shoulder. After returning from lunch and donning his personal protective equipment (PPE), he collapsed. The company called an emergency response team. They were there within 5 minutes. Two coworkers were trying to stop the bleeding from a deep wound on his face where his welding helmet had cut into his face. The wound was 4 inches long and 1.5 inches deep. The employee was bleeding profusely. He died of heart failure and a compound head fracture.
