Investigation Summary
At approximately about 2:00 p.m. on September 15, 2008, Employee #1, an electrician, felt ill and dizzy due to heat exhaustion. Earlier, at about 11:00 a.m., he began threading a pipe for the wiring to the fire suppression sensors for the fume exhaust ducts. These ducks were supporting one of the steel pickling lines, which operated a steel fabrication facility, located in Fontana, California. In the morning, Employee #1 took frequent rest and water breaks in air conditioned areas. However, after lunch he did not take breaks frequently in order to complete this work before the end of his shift. Employee #1 could not recall drinking anything after the lunch. In-house emergency medical technicians provided initial evaluation and aid to Employee #1. He was transported to the San Antonio Community Hospital in Upland, California, where he was hospitalized for an apparent heat stress illness for two days.
