An oilfield worker has accused Baker Hughes of unsafe workplace instructions and retaliation after an alleged exposure to hydrogen sulphide during a training session. Theresia Breen claims the incident led to heart and breathing conditions requiring emergency treatment.
Breen, who lives in Wyoming, filed a lawsuit in Harris County, Texas, alleging that a senior employee instructed her to put her head inside several fracturing tanks without protective equipment. She claims she was later diagnosed with pericarditis, an inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, and acute bronchospasm, which narrows the airways.
