Confined space incident involving nitrogen gas (3D re-enactment)
This video describes an incident in a confined space involving nitrogen gas. Cold nitrogen gas can easily displace oxygen, and it only takes one or two breaths in an oxygen deficient atmosphere to instantly lose consciousness. Ensure you are trained in confined spaces and their hazards, as well as having an initial response emergency strategy.
