Investigation Summary
At approximately 5:50 a.m. on September 8, 1994, toluene diisocyanate (TDI) began to leak from a cracked hose on a two component foam machine at a company that manufactures urethane foam seat cushions. Employees #1 through #5 responded to the leak wearing no respiratory protection and minimal ppe. Some of the employees missed more than four weeks of work due to illness from exposure to TDI.
