GAS DETECTION & MONITORING PROTECT YOUR ASSETS
Gas monitoring and detection is a critical area of health and safety for many businesses, helping to keep people safe across
industries as varied as utilities and mining to oil and gas and science and technology.
It can also be a complex area to deal with. The combination of ever-evolving regulations and changing gas exposure limits, combined with large and dispersed teams of users of gas detection equipment potentially working across different sites or hard-to-access remote sites, mean that oversight and management of gas detection at an individual employee-level can be challenging.
The capacity for catastrophic effects due to what may seem to be a minor equipment error are significant. For example, just one individual using a single gas detector that has not been properly bump tested that day or is overdue a calibration, could lead to serious safety incident.
“DOCKING TECHNOLOGY AUTOMATICALLY LOGS, RECORDS AND UPLOADS TO THE CLOUD A COMPLETE DATA LOG OF ACTIVITY RECORDED BY THE DEVICE.”
At a corporate management oversight level, it is vital to have a firm grasp of all the individual assets and devices in your gas detection inventory, primarily to ensure that everyone is protected, but also to ensure that each individual team member and colleague is playing their part in keeping themselves – and others – safe in potentially hazardous settings.
Thankfully, there have been – and continues to be – significant advancements in this space when it comes to the safety technology involved, offering real benefits to users and managers, as well as peace of mind to those ultimately responsible for corporate health and safety.
Some examples of key benefits include features such as docking technology which automatically logs, records and uploads to the cloud a complete and up-to-date data log of activity recorded by the device,

including confirmation of normal functioning status, details of alarm settings, test status, calibration history, as well as details of when any alarms may have been activated. Not only does this enable push-notifications to be sent to users and managers if action is needed regarding a device (for example if it is overdue testing or calibration), but it also gives peace of mind that all historic data relating to each device is available for compliance purposes.
This leads to a vast reduction in paperwork: there is no need to print off and store test certificates as they are all stored safely, securely and in accordance with GDPR in the cloud, providing an easy-to-search history of
