A worker engulfed by toxic fumes was rescued from a ship in Italy.

The worker aboard a vessel off the coast of Nervi reportedly inhaled hazardous substances, requiring immediate medical attention on Wednesday, September 25.

Emergency services quickly deployed the Drago helicopter to the rescue scene, around five miles offshore.

The worker performing duties on the vessel experienced severe respiratory distress after exposure to the irritants.

Paramedics and medical personnel were quickly lowered onto the ship using the helicopter's winch. After stabilising the worker, they airlifted him into the aircraft.

The worker was then taken to a nearby hospital for further treatment.
