Employee dies of heat stroke
On July 14, 1995, Employee #1 was exposed to a heat index of 114 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit all day while working outside in an auto salvage yard. At approximate ly 4:45 p.m., he collapsed to the ground and he was helped to a chair in the sha de of a building. No first aid could be given for heat exposure because no one c ertified to administer first aid was on site. When the employee fell off the cha ir onto concrete and turned blue, 911 was called. Those first to respond did not find a pulse, but started CPR until an ambulance arrived and took over rescue e fforts. Employee #1 was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. The coroner entered heat stroke on the death certificate.
