Gas sensing & detection
T
here has been a lot of talk in the world of safety about the need for real-time data with gas detection systems. Although most will agree that real-time data benefits safety programmes by providing information that leads to better decision-making, some may wonder if real-time data is as crucial as they have heard. The short answer is yes, and here is why. A properly calibrated and bump-tested gas detector is a powerful personal protective device. By itself, however, itmis simply not enough to help ensure the highest level of safety. That is where a connected work platform comes into play.
A connected work platform combines real- time data, connected PPE/gas detection wearables, and advanced software solutions, so you can have the best possible visibility across these areas of concern:
Workers Worksites Workflows
In fact, connectivity enables the kind of visibility that can lead to a stronger safety programne and improved safety outcomes. Even better? A strategic connected worker-
worksite-workflow platform helps simplify safety, curb risk, and boost productivity all at the same time. Plus, it sets you up for a scalable and adaptable safety programme for today - and tomorrow.

IS REAL-TIME DATA IMPORTANT FOR GAS DETECTION PROGRAMMES?
Consider these three reasons why real-time data via a connected platform is a must for worker and worksite safety:
1. REAL-TIME DATA ENABLES REAL- TIME VISIBILITY FOR SAFETY TEAMS.
By their very nature, remote workforces leave safety managers disconnected from what is happening on the job. So, what is a disconnected and physically distant safety manager to do in the event of an unsafe incident, especially when every second counts? Here is what they can do. They can ensure that lone workers are not alone, thanks to the visibility provided by a connected platform. If workers, worksites, and workflows are not connected, there is likely going to be too much lag time between incident and information - lag time that is costly to both worker safety and infrastructure. With connectivity-enabled real-time data, safety managers can have continuous situational awareness. That means seeing the state of workers and monitoring their safety behaviours in the field. It means you will get gas exposure alerts, man-
down alarms, panic button presses, and device concern warnings in real-time so you can act as swiftly as possible. Plus, it means simplifying compliance and improving productivity to help reduce risk and costly downtime. Real-time data gives safety managers real- time visibility and awareness into what is happening, so they can respond to incidents - and help improve safety of workers, worksites, and workflows - much faster.
The key to leveraging critical real-time data is having your hardware or gas detection devices connected to both the right software and to the cloud through a seamlessly integrated solution. While the device does its job of collecting data, the software does its job of empowering safety managers with information and insights that let you drive a more proactive safety culture. Even better is that this creates a more unified and streamlined workflow. No relying on cumbersome file transfers and downloads. No more time spent on the arduous and complicated task of piecing together information for incident reporting.
