• Description:
  The Agrico Chemical Company (SIC-2879) of Pierce Chemical Works in Pierce, Florida, was surveyed from May 12 to 15, 1975, for inclusion in a comprehensive field study of wet chemical fertilizer processing facilities in Central Florida. The company employed over 12,000 workers and contracted a clinic to provide preemployment physical examinations and emergency care. First aid was administered by certified personnel and an accident prevention training program, a full time safety engineer, and protective equipment were provided. During the manufacture of wet chemical fertilizer, potential hazardous exposure to sulfuric-acid (7664939) mists, phosphoric-acid (7664382) mists, fluorides, trace metals, radiation, and dust particles were present. The authors recommend further study of this facility. [Description provided by NIOSH]
