Two employees were tasked with cleaning a railway tank car that previously contained glycerol. While working in the railway tank car the entrant collapsed. The attendant also collapsed after entering the railway tank car. The responding rescue agency determined that the percent oxygen inside the tank car was approximately 5%. The railway tank car contained an IDLH atmosphere. Respiratory protection for an IDLH atmosphere was not provided. This condition exposed three employees to an oxygen deficient IDLH atmosphere.
