At 4:45 p.m. on December 27, 2017, an employee was adding piping from a man-lift to a chemical tank when he struck a transducer on a nearby chemical tank containing tetra-methyl ammonium hydroxide. The employee was drenched and was able to lower the man-lift and get into the emergency wash station. Several co-workers assisted the employee in washing the chemical off, and paramedics arrived shortly afterward, transporting the employee to MLK Hospital. The employee was stabilized and then airlifted to Harborview Hospital where he passed away on January 8, 2018.
