Narrative

A chemical plant 2 miles from the Sherwin Plant released some chlorine into the atmosphere at 0430 hours on 3/8/07. EE complained about respiratory tract irritation due to the smell. EE was given first aid treatment and released to return to work. EE's personal physician took him off of work for 2 days as a precautionary measure due to other non-work related physical ailments.
