Narrative

Three employees were removing and cleaning equipment and fixtures and tidying up a restaurant that had been closed recently. A gasoline-powered pressure washer was in use near the back door of the restaurant. Carbon monoxide from the machine entered the building, causing all three workers to become lightheaded. One of them lost consciousness and was hospitalized.
