Multi Gas Detectors – How They Simplify Safety

25 Jun 2011 - - 0 Comments

In some work environments, different gases are used for sterilization, pressurizing metals, or are a byproduct of a manufacturing process. Keeping track of the levels of the gases released into the work environment as well as to neighboring surroundings can be difficult if multiple gas detectors are needed to detect dangerous levels of them. Not only can certain gases cause bodily harm or death, but they can make the work area unsafe, causing explosions and fires that can be fatal. It is a requirement for employers to protect their workers as well as the investment in the equipment used at the facility. Multi gas detectors eliminate the need for detectors that only detect particular gases, saving costs to the facility owners and the authorities that do spot inspections for gas levels in order to maintain safety within as well as outside of a facility to prevent accidental injury or death to not only employees and equipment, but innocent people in the surrounding community. The multi gas detector can warn of high gas levels of multiple types, allowing people in surrounding areas of high gas readings or leakage to vacate in order to maintain their health and safety. In addition to multi gas detectors, a Onesuite level A flash suite is used to protect the workers that detect dangerous gases, protecting them from not only the gas detected but also any chemical reaction on the skin as well as any flame that does occur in case of minor explosions. The suit covers the entire body from head to foot, with protective gloves and footwear for full protection. Not only is the suit used to protect against gases, but from the chemicals that emit the gases, allowing cleanup of the chemical for safety and elimination of the gases while protecting the worker. Modern advances in technology have assisted in providing safety against dangerous gases as well as an overload of "good" gases such as oxygen that can lead to explosions or fast flames from small sources of heat such as a cigarette or lighter. Sometimes a simple spark from static in the environment can cause a catastrophe if oxygen levels are too high. On the reverse, carbon monoxide levels may render oxygen useless, causing adverse health effects and even death if they are not detected. Once the source of a gas leak is discovered, more often than not a simple repair of equipment can prevent a safety issue, no matter what the environment.
