Theme for the month - Nitrogen related incident

An air compressor that provided instrument air to an acetylene plant and for breathing air failed. A back-up nitrogen supply from a liquid cylinder was connected to the piping system to replace the function of the air compressor. An operator put on a full respiratory face mask to load Calcium Carbide into the hopper and inhaled nitrogen. He died.
