Narrative

An employee was performing janitorial activities and unclogging a toilet and drain line that had shop rags and paper towels in it. After snaking the line to remove the obstruction, he was using a drain cleaning product and after about 20 minutes he became dizzy and lost consciousness as he was walking out of the room. He fell to the floor and sustained two fractured cervical vertebrae and bruising to the spine. The employee was hospitalized.
