Investigation Summary
Employees were sandblasting towers at an oxygen plant in a steel mill. Once they completed sandblasting one tower, they moved their equipment to a new tower. Employee #1 climbed a flat roof and put on his air supplied respirator to test it. He was found dead shortly thereafter. Employee #1's respirator line had been hooked to a nitrogen air line and it was first suspected that the employee died of oxygen deficiency. However, the autopsy revealed that coronary artery disease caused cardiac arrhythmia.
