Gas leak detectors are equipment that indicates the presence of gases in ambient air using technologies such as electrochemical, infrared and ultrasonic. These devices are used to detect toxic and combustible gases in order to maintain safety during operations. Gas leak detectors are generally available in two different types; portable which are handheld can be used for personal safety as well. The other type of leak detectors is fixed i.e. permanently sited which are often used in plants & facilities for personnel as well as plant safety. Portable gas leak detectors are also classified as "personal safety instrument" as they ensure detection of toxic and flammable gases which can cause hazards in plants. Government laws& regulations and industry associations advocate the use gas leak detectors in manufacturing plant to ensure the safety of workers and workplace.
