As I used to tell my dad - you want help but you use the belt

Growing up as a kid on a cattle farm, my father made sure to warn me and my siblings about the hazards of the manure tanks. The essential message of getting stuck in the same space as manure meaning essentially death definitely left an impression on us, and we made it safely to adulthood. It's amazing how Employee #1 figured he could 'just quickly' fetch that hose. So many people don't seem to realise the danger of a situation until they're already in the process of passing out. Others only after they have been rescued.

Wow a safety training video that didn’t end with someone dying, this is rare

I've been doing underground construction for 10 years and just experienced my first low oxygen atmosphere last week. H2S and Carbon Monoxide are common for us, but low oxygen is rare. We had to Vacuum test a new sewer manhole which means entering the manhole, inserting plugs into the pipes below and attaching a suction disc to the top and removing all the air from the manhole. After the test was over, without thinking I went down into the manhole to retrieve the plugs. Immediately I knew something was wrong. I instinctively jumped back on the ladder and climbed out. We had a blower and a gas detector right next to us. It just slipped my mind, it happened so fast. Had that been an apprentice or someone less experienced with underground operations that went down, we would have had a recovery situation on our hands. Stupidest thing I've done in my career.

This explains why I lose consciousness at the truck stop lunch counter.

There is an uptick in entering confined spaces in the manure handling industry due to the use of sand bedding. Sand settles in tankers and storage facilities and in many cases if agitation systems fail the sand will plug inlets to pump systems forcing someone to enter to clear passages. Sand is the best bedding for cattle but the absolute worst for manure handling equipment.

Probably Carbon Dioxide. Since the body prioritizes moving carbon dioxide out of the blood stream before moving oxygen into the blood, a high concentration of CO2 means that you can't take up any oxygen even though you are breathing normally. And the first symptom of oxygen deprivation is that you lose your ability to realize anything is wrong. CO2 is released by a lot of decomposition as many bacteria exhale it just the way like humans do. And it's heavier than oxygen so it sinks to the bottom, forming large odorless clouds near the floor. Even slight movements in the air mix it up with the rest of the air, so it's not a problem. But in confined spaces like big tanks or basements it can all sink to the bottom.

I worked on road tankers for a few years and confined space work was always treated as being extremely dangerous. Especially when it came to adequate ventilation for fumes, you'd have a fan circulating fresh air into the tank for hours and active ventilation was required to be in place while any personnel were inside. Passing out from fumes was a major hazard.

How do you rescue them?" "Oh well that should be worked out in the safety meeting before hand." "Yeah, ideally, but what exactly would that entail?"
