Investigation Summary
At 2:00 p.m. on August 18, 2020, an employee was removing leaves and stems from grapes when she reached down to get her water bottle from the floor and was overcome by a chemical smell. A secondary employer had been using sulfur dioxide in its tunnels but they had been closed and sealed with the sulfur dioxide inside. None of the employee's coworkers became ill. The employee was hospitalized to treat a respiratory illness.
