Raising Awareness: How Can We Prevent Nitrogen Gas Accidents in the Workplace?

The Importance of Nitrogen Gas in the Industrial Sector

The importance of Nitrogen gas is increasing day by day in the industrial sector. At the same time, this non-hazardous gas is causing many fatal accidents. We have to take utmost care in using this gas. Let us create awareness amongst our workforce.

Here, I am providing some information about the hazards of Nitrogen gas as a presentation. Please share your valuable inputs, i.e., hazards, accidents, case studies, etc., related to Nitrogen gas operations.

Thanks and Regards,
Srinivasarao. M

I have another presentation on N2. I hope that it will be useful to understand what N2 does to one's health.

Subject: Re: The Dangers of Nitrogen!

I am working in an LPG Recovery plant as a Senior Chemist. The commissioning of newly built mounded bullets is in progress, for which purging of LPG Storage Bullets by Nitrogen is ongoing. The PowerPoint presentation is quite helpful to educate workers involved in the job.

Thanks for sharing this valuable PPT.

Safety Bulletin on Nitrogen Asphyxiation Incident

To learn more about the potential hazards of nitrogen asphyxiation, I am issuing a safety bulletin regarding the asphyxiation incident that occurred on November 6, 2005, resulting in the fatality of two contractor maintenance workers at the Valero Energy Corporation's Delaware City, Delaware refinery.

The U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) is investigating the accident at the Valero refinery. Preliminary information indicates that the two workers were reattaching piping to a process vessel while performing maintenance activities. You can view the investigation video on the US CSB website.

Thank you.
