Employee Is Exposed to Chemical Fumes

On September 11, 2010, Employee #1, a butcher block clerk in the meat department of a Save Mart Supermarket, was cleaning the butcher block area with Kay Chlorinated Cleaner and a water hose when he noticed a strong chlorine smell. He approached a senior coworker, who also noticed the chlorine smell, and sent Employee #1 home. The coworker found a torn bag of KemTek pool shock on the floor of the area. Emergency responders investigated the exposure; no employees were transported. Employee #1 drove himself to Enloe Medical Center, where he was treated for the chlorine exposure.
