Narrative

An employee was detecting the lower explosive limit (LEL) and initiated a shutdown of the loading rack, stopping the flow to the rail car. The employee's personal four-gas monitor began to alarm for LEL and he evacuated north toward the end of the loading rack. The employee had difficulty catching his breath and had a rapid heart rate after he evacuated the area. The employee was hospitalized for atrial fibrillation.
