Remove any personnel in an oxygen deficient atmosphere to fresh air.
Get medical attention
immediately.
Use cardiopulmonary resuscitation if the victim is not breathing. Positive pressure
breathing apparatus must be worn by any rescuers entering a suspected oxygen deficient
atmosphere.
Nitrogen gas may accumulate in low or confined areas. All requirements of OSHA 1910.146
(Confined Space Guidelines. ) must be met when working with inert gases in confined spaces. Self
contained breathing apparatus is required (cartridge or filter type gas masks cannot be used). See the
information on personal protective equipment in this section for details.
When entering a confined area or area which may contain high inert gas concentrations, a
"Buddy
System"
must be used. One person should remain outside the suspect area, but within view of the
other person. This method ensures that the other person can respond in the event of an emergency.
Personal protective equipment required for use with inerts is listed in Chapter 1 Section 9.
