Investigation Nr: 14402465

Event: 11/01/1988

Twelve suffer from smoke inhalation in PVC fire

At approximately 10:30 p.m. on November 1, 1988, Employees #1 through #12 were working on a production line. PVC plastics started to decompose in the floor drain, resulting in a smoky fire. Employees #1 through #12 suffered from smoke inhalation, and Employees #1 through #6 were hospitalized. Earlier in the day, coworkers had removed the floor drain cover to repair a 2 in. steam line. PVC products that fell off the conveyor were not cleaned out of the drain. Poor housekeeping practices contributed to this accident.
