Haller said the employee removed himself from the scene and was transported to a local hospital to treat chemical inhalation symptoms.
He was decontaminated, treated and released.
The Miami County Hazardous Material Team responded to the scene.
Tipp City personnel confirmed that “an unintentional chemical process error of acid solution and a caustic solution used as cleaners were introduced into the same line without rinsing the lines which created an unspecified toxic gas.” Operations at the facility were stopped and the space was ventilated and flushed with copious amounts of water, Haller added.
Crews were on the scene for four hours and employees could re-enter the building after the situation was contained.
