BRIEFLY... WORKERS "WOOZY" AFTER BREATHING FORKLIFT EXHAUST FUMES

Chelsea, United States
Friday, 19 Jan 2001

CHELSEA, USA -- Thirteen people at a New Jersey meat wholesaler have been treated for carbon monoxide poisoning after inhaling the exhaust from a propane-powered forklift.

The Boston Times said workers began feeling "woozy" after using a borrowed, propane-powered forklift to hang meat in a cold storage area.

Firemen with breathing apparatus evacuated workers from inside the facility, where they found carbon-monoxide levels as high as 350 parts per million - 10 times the maximum recommended dose.

The US Occupational Safety & Health Administration and the US Department of Agriculture are investigating.
