Nitrogen in the breathing air system

Initial findings in an employee’s death show breathing air was compromised while working in a paint booth after the breathing air system unintentionally allowed nitrogen to get into the system. The worker, 61, was found not breathing just after noon on Feb. 24 in a paint booth. This incident occurred in the same area where a December 2019 nitrogen gas-line explosion sent more than a dozen workers to the hospital.
