SAFETY


Delivering excellence in benzene monitoring instrumentation for the chemical, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries


Monitoring benzene exposure levels is critical for the health and wellbeing of staff and the public who may encounter this group one carcinogen. While benzene has many useful and practical applications in industries, the risk to health is undeniable and requires exact and precise monitoring to mitigate damage. Having accurate and dedicated monitoring instrumentation specifically for managing the risk of benzene is essential for any business that works with this chemical.


As benzene is both widespread in industrial applications and poses a significant risk to health, there is pressure from public health and industrial safety perspectives on making sure it is managed and monitored properly. The most effective way of minimising exposure to benzene is through appropriate safety and monitoring practices. Using PID (photoionisation detection) instruments from ION Science is an excellent way of protecting against potential hazards.


ION Science has a dedicated range of instruments specifically designed for monitoring benzene. As a compound that poses a range of long- and short- term health risks associated with exposure, having instruments that can monitor wherever staff are working and in areas where there is potential for public or environmental exposure is key.


For protecting individual staff, ION Science offers the Cub TAC (total aromatic compound) 10.0 eV personal benzene gas monitor. This personal monitoring solution is worn within the breathing zone on the person, allowing individual monitoring of exposure levels to be exact. Equipped with audio and visual alarms when exposure goes beyond pre-set levels, the Cub TAC is designed to keep workers safe in all situations. Data can be uploaded for review by the site occupational hygienist or health and safety officer, so any exposures that pose a risk can be quickly addressed and dealt with.


The Titan fixed benzene specific gas monitor is a standalone unit that can be fitted around sites, factories, and storage units. This is particularly useful for monitoring


benzene, as one of the highest risk factors in benzene exposure is related to the storage and distribution of petrol and petroleum-based products. Benzene can also be found on sites such as oil refineries and foundries, which are often large and not necessarily always monitored in person. The Titan fixed unit is wall mounted and samples air every minute, providing an accurate readout of benzene air concentrations within just 60 seconds. With a dynamic detection range, the Titan is designed to monitor for benzene at just 0.1 ppm concentration levels, keeping staff as safe as possible when in proximity.


Where portable detection is essential, ION Science offer the Tiger Select portable benzene gas detector. Ideal for use around sites and for checking levels while working, the Tiger Select keeps staff safe as well as monitoring air levels and concentrations for health and safety purposes. With both 15-minute short term exposure limits and 8 hour time weighted averages, the Tiger Select makes it possible to monitor exposure risks at all levels and throughout the day.


What really makes ION Science’s range of benzene specific instruments valuable to the customer is the fast lead times available on the majority of products. ION Science is proud to offer delivery time turnaround of days, not weeks, and in some cases, it may even be possible to have products arriving to customers within 24 hours.


With a global network of suppliers, distributors and offices, ION Science boasts superior supply chains to get products where they need to be. Whether customers have an immediate need, such as a suspected leak or impending legislation change, or a long-term commitment to improving environmental and public health, choosing from ION Science’s range of benzene detection instruments means products can be on site in some of the fastest lead times available.

New, pocket-size filtering escape devices provide 10 minutes of protection in toxic environments


Dräger, an international leader in the fields of medical and safety technology, is launching two of its smallest-ever filtering escape devices, the PARAT®


1200 and PARAT® 1260, which both provide 10


minutes effective respiratory protection in emergency environments where air quality has been compromised, enabling potentially life- saving additional escape time.


The ultra-compact, robust and portable escape devices can be held in the palm of a hand, or even fit inside a pocket, and have been designed for tough and hazardous environments, such as those found in chemical, oil and gas, petrochemical, industrial, laboratories and plants where employees are at risk of gas or vapour leaks or chemically polluted environments. Equipped with a multi-gas ABEK filter, they provide protection against a variety of toxic industrial gases and vapours, including hydrogen sulphide. These compact lifesavers are approved to the only recognised standard for filtering industrial escape devices (DIN 58647-7).


Easy to don, simple to operate, and suitable for people who wear glasses and have beards, both Dräger’s PARAT® 1200 and 1260 models are ultra-low-leakage mouthpiece / nose clip filtering escape devices that can also be carried on a hip belt.

A versatile controller to fit any “simple” task


Sometimes a small and seemingly simple gas warning system is all it takes to ensure safety and comply with legal requirements. But when it comes to potentially dangerous gases, it rarely is truly easy.


GfG’s new fixed gas monitoring controller GMA22-M provides the functionality and versatility needed to address every task that doesn’t ask for a fully-fledged gas detection solution.


Up to 4 transmitters can be connected to the GMA22-M. Unlike with typical on-site, stand- alone solutions, measuring points can be remotely monitored with the GMA22-M. The installation site


depends on the requirements of the respective task. The device intended for wall mounting can be installed as close as next to the entrance door of the room to be monitored or as far as one kilometre away at the control centre.


Selecting the GMA22-M as controller provides customers with the complete range of GfG transmitters and sensors to choose from. Configuration of the measuring point designations, the detector type, the type of gas and measuring range as well as individual or specified alarm thresholds can easily be programmed for each measuring point.
