Were there any chemical fumes in that tank he might have inhaled along
with the nitrogen?


No. The vessel had been pressure purged with nitrogen for the job before it was opened.

Then he committed a sin for which job termination is usually
proscribed at most companies now days. You never, ever enter a vessel
that has been N2 purged unless bringing your own breathing air by
tank or hose. He entered without checking the O2 level and almost
suffocated.
