Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and coworkers were working in the chrome recovery unit of a steel mill. The addition of a "slug" of chrome resulted in the automatic addition of sodium bisulfate and in the release of an unknown quantity of sulfur dioxide. At the time of this discharge, Employee #1 and nine coworkers were approximately 100 ft away on a mezzanine of electro-tinning line #3. Employee #1 was kept overnight at the hospital for observation; the coworkers were treated and released.
