A gas detector is a vital device in industries that detects the presence of hazardous gases often as part of a safety system. They are regulated as mandatory safety systems due to the hazardous materials that exist in a facility.This equipment is widely used to monitor gas leaks or excessive emissions from industrial processes. Such devices can enable audio-visual warnings and alerts when emissions cross dangerous thresholds and threaten to endanger workers, thereby providing enough time to evacuate and take corrective action.
These gases and vapors could be combustible, such as Methane (CH4) or Propane (C3H8), or carcinogenic compounds such as Benzene, or toxic material, such as Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (O3), Chlorine or Ammonia. Oxygen levels can also be monitored where an imperceptible/inert gas could pose a risk by displacing the oxygen in workspaces.
Similar to the mining canaries of old which were used to detect poisonous gases in deep mines, ESI’s Canary protects industrial workers from a range of hazardous gases through continuous monitoring and instantaneous alerting. We can help prevent safety liabilities, satisfy health and safety requirements and protect your workers.
