Evidence carbon neutrality and improve employee welfare with a PID
Whilst China and other governments around the world commit to a green economy by 2030, companies are starting to turn to employee health and safety monitoring to learn and evidence improvements in carbon emissions. The can do this thanks to the fastest and most accurate PID ever from ION Science.
(VOCs), UK based gas detection expert ION Science is helping employers significantly reduce the daily exposure risks faced by occupational hygienists and technicians operating in the chemical or petrochemical industries.
T
The class-leading personal and portable detection and exposure instrument is extremely fast, lightweight, and unobtrusive. It accurately measures personal VOC exposure in real-time and features intuitive audio, visual and vibration personal alarms, which notify the user when safe workplace exposure levels are about to be exceeded, all within 13 seconds. ATEX and IECEx certified as standard, the
device stores and handles data quickly and efficiently. Cub has an extremely wide gas detection range of zero to 5,000ppm and has unrivalled sensitivity down to ppb levels. It can measure up to 480 selectable compounds and features anti-contamination and humidity resistance for extended field operation. Twelve-hour battery life also ensures that the device can operate for the full duration of a worker’s shift. A large LCD screen provides occupational
hygienists and technicians with clear and accurate readings that can be understood whatever the difficult climatic conditions being faced. Cub is also easy to service and features a two-year warranty when the device is registered online. The specialist technology employed in the Cub is now being requested by other
28
hanks to Cub’s patented photoionisation detection (PID) of volatile organic compounds
detection manufacturers around the world, which is a huge complement to the outstanding quality, accuracy and trust in the PID sensor manufactured specifically by ION Science. Safe operations in the energy sector
are now more critical than ever before. Companies must meet ever-increasing global demand and ensure costs are low, while considering the increasing environmental factors. This all means increased pressures and demands on staff working times, particularly occupational hygienists and technicians. Across global downstream gas operations, ION Science products are designed and proven to help keep employees safe and ensure that companies meet the legislative requirements set out by the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations.
Regulation 7 of the COSHH Regulations 19991,2 lays down the requirements for using maximum exposure limits (MELs) and occupational exposure standards (OESs) for achieving adequate control of worker exposure. ION Science’s Cub PID ensures that regulation is adhered to. However, Cub is recommended to be used alongside a single gas detector (ARA) toxic alarm and exposure alarm for more significant employee safety coverage. To ensure the continued safety of
employees facing VOC workplace exposure and to ensure that daily personal exposure to toxic gases is kept to a minimum, please visit the ION Science Website.
