Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201261641
Event: 07/01/2004
Employee is dead from asphyxia when exposed to nitrogen

On July 1, 2004, Employee #1, a lyophilizer (freeze dryer) operator, entered the chamber of the machine to perform lubrication, which was required under the preventative maintenance program. Employee #1 was not authorized to perform lockout procedures and so the nitrogen was not isolated. When co-workers found Employee #1 in a non-responsive state they noticed that nitrogen was being released into the confined space where Employee #1 was working.
