| Aug 24, 2022 at 9:25 | comment | added | eirikdaude | @DanilaSmirnov linked an article in a comment on the OP which seemed well sourced. In particular references 6 and 7 look like they may provide cases of pressurized air entering through the skin, while reference 8 may provide some basis for the OSHA requirement. Unfortunately I don't have access to the full text of the references, so I can't provide much help besides linking the article. Anyway, I guess this answer does answer the question to a certain extent, so unless a better one pops up in the next few days I'll give you the checkmark | |

Added comment about cited accident, noting that the compressed air did not penetrate through the skin, but entered through a wound. Thanks Sebastian Redl.

It does not say anything about compressed air penetrating the skin and entering the blood vessels this way. | |
