Narrative

On January 9, 2018, an employee was working the pizza line at a facility that had a large heating unit running. The ignition for the burner unit control failed and shut off the ignition unit, but the natural gas remained on. Employees evacuated the work site and maintenance repaired the burner unit control switch. The employees then returned to work. The next day, the injured employee was hospitalized due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
