He was wearing a supplied air respirator (SAR). While using the supplie d air hood, he lost consciousness. A pressure testing operation downstream on th e plant air line allowed nitrogen to backfill into the compressed air line. This test introduced an asphyxiant into the system. The employee was killed.
