## Narrative

An employee was standing in a room next to the shaft alley of a boat on a dry dock where two employees were heating a steel coupling (shaft that holds the prop on the boat) using two rose buds with forced air and exhaust ventilation established. They were heating the coupling so it would expand and pop loose. After his shift ended, the employee called and reported difficulty breathing. He was admitted to the hospital where he was diagnosed with possible chemical pneumonia.
