I believe that in a shop, with what I would consider small amounts in cylinders, that is coming out of a 3/8" hose there is no major risk. This would be a similar set up that would be used in a laser engraver. I also believe what our safety dept. says about one breath of 100% nitrogen. My thought is nitrogen expands so quickly into the atmosphere, that a cylinder in a ventilated shop has little risk. I would guess the bigger risk with a cylinder is pressure and all the precautions need to be observed there also.

Maybe they give the "one breath..." warning because there might be some yahoo working somewhere that thinks "well, inhaling helium gives funny results, I wonder what will happen if I inhale nitrogen from this hose?"
