What you should know about gas detection technology
Anyone in the gas detection business can tell you the consequences of not understanding the instrumentation we sell: Workers’ lives are placed under a false sense of security and companies waste thousands of dollars on the wrong equipment every day. As a veteran of the industry, I see equipment being misused constantly.
Just owning gas detection equipment isn’t enough to keep workers safe or companies in compliance. You need to select the right instrumentation, and know how it works. Effective hazardous gas exposure prevention requires a comprehensive detection program that includes quality instrumentation, proper training, routine calibration, and vigilant exposure monitoring. And to ensure regulatory compliance, you need to thoroughly document and accurately report each of those activities.
