Two workers were involved in a recent industrial accident while in a shipyard.  The workers were taking part in a clean-up project on a ship when the accident took place.  While cleaning a portion of the ship,  the workers became overcome by fumes that were on board the ship. 

One worker became trapped and required rescue from fire fighters.  Another worker was able to leave the area before being completely overcome by the fumes.

Both workers were taken to a hospital for treatment following the accident.
