| Resumen |
Description of a fatal accident due to massive inhalation of trichloroethylene. A young inexperienced worker took a bottle of this solvent to clean metal surfaces nearly at floor level in a transformer room. He accidentally spilled some of the solvent, causing a near-floor concentration probably around 3,000ppm. Next day the worker was found dead on the premises. Lessons to be learned from this incident: workers should be informed of the hazards of this solvent, with regular supervision of those working alone in confined spaces. Data on trichloroethylene: fire and explosion hazards, health hazards, rescue operations and first aid; safety measures. |
