Investigation Summary
On September 23, 2011, Employee #1 was transferring sulfur dioxide from a 1-ton cylinder to a 6-pound gun. A hose, with a clamp attached, was used to transfer the chemical from the cylinder to the gun. As Employee #1 was tightening the clamp screw, it broke. This caused the hose to detach from the gun and release sulfur dioxide. Employee #1 backed away and raised his arms, knocking his respirator off. He then inhaled the sulfur dioxide, suffering a decrease in lung function. Employee #1 was taken to a nearby medical facility, where he was hospitalized and treated for sulfur dioxide exposure.
