Two individuals who work for the (Province) Ministry of Natural Resources were working with the product for forestry applications. They provided ground support, recirculating and loading the product and fueling the aircraft. Additionally they had 80 minibulk containers that were rinsed for recycling (rinsate pumped into aircraft) with high pressure fire hoses. Shifts were 8 hrs per night, 5 days a week. Both men reported itchy arms and cheeks, with mild reddening after they had carried out the powerwashing. Only gogles were worn during that operation. The medical clinic diagnosed mild dermatitis and recommended an OTC anti-histamine. No respiratory symptoms were reported.
