There is Safety in Size
When considering which portable gas detector is the right choice, opt for one that is small and light enough to be carried properly.
Of Course, it has to monitor the expected gases on site, but in this case comfort actually increases safety. For the measurement to be accurate, the instrument should be worn in the “respirable breathing zone” of the worker. The readings should come from the same area as the air that is entering the worker’s lungs.
And the larger, heavier and more cumbersome a gas detector is, the greater the risk that it will be worn on the belt or even discarded for convenience. Depending on your requirements, the Micro IV single gas detector and the G888 series multi-gas detectors are the perfect choice.
The Confined Spaces Paradox
The first step to work safely in confined spaces is to understand what confined spaces are, because they are not necessarily „confined“.
They are fully or partially enclosed spaces, which are not primarily designed or intended for permanent or continuous human occupancy. Often access or egress are limited or restricted and there is a potential health and safety risk to life due to lack of oxygen, exposure to toxic gas or the presence of flammable gases. But there is more. Even their design and construction, the characteristics of the material or substances within as well as the type of work activities envisaged, can pose a danger.
Educate your workers about the safety dos and don‘ts for working in confined spaces, use a G999 series multi-gas detectors with integrated pump for confined space clearance measurements and have all workers entering wear an appropriate portable gas detection device.
The Value of Connected Safety
GfG‘s G888 and G999 series of portable gas detectors are available with an optional radio module. Real-time gas concentrations as well as alarms triggered by gas concentrations, man-down incidents or manually activated ones can be transmitted to the TeamLink, a portable team monitor, or a computer with a respective radio dongle and the monitoring software. This ensures that no team member is ever left on their own, even if someone is temporarily out of sight.
While real-time transmission of alarms ensures that help or rescue measures can be initiated immediately, continued transmission of measured values allows the rest of the team and the rescuers to prepare and protect for the perils on site. Without this information, they run the risk of becoming victims of the same source of danger as the team member they are trying to rescue.
GfG - Your Guide Through the Sensorverse
There is probably no gas that, depending on where it occurs or may occur, does not need to be monitored and selecting the right sensor on your own can be challenging. Ambient conditions, gas concentration, measuring principle, resolution, power consumption, service life - these are all factors that have to be considered.
It is our job at GfG to make your job easy, whether you are planning and tendering for a new gas detection system or expanding or even replacing an existing installation. Just give us a call and let us jointly ensure that employees, plant and the environment are protected.
