Event: 12/01/2003

Employee dies from carbon monoxide poisoning

Four subcontractor employees had sleeping in a home that was under construction. One of the employees, a drywaller, had been working on this house. The other three were roofers, but had not been working on this site. The drywaller, as well as two others, died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning. The fourth was hospitalized. They had been using a generator and a kerosene space heater for heat while sleeping. All four were Hispanic workers. (The investigation revealed that this accident was not work related, therefore OSHA did not have jurisdiction.)
