For Industrial Safety or for protection against Disease Transmission such as Coronavirus or just avoiding air pollution that can result in lung and heart problems or cancer, picking the correct mask for PPE can be a research project itself. With many types of masks, different international product approvals and differing guidelines. Here we aim to simplify the process by focusing on the main tiers of disposal mask protection.

Fixed Gas Detection Systems Explained
A fixed gas detector is permanently installed to provide continuous monitoring of plant and equipment emissions and ensure the safety of personnel along with assets. Preemptively warning of flammable, toxic gas and vapour release or Oxygen depletion. Detectors can be installed indoors or outside. Typically equipped with sensors, although some monitors use ultrasonic acoustic microphones for leakage detection, as they are unaffected by wind and weather.
Calibration & Checking Gas Detectors
Calibration times vary dependent on sensors, expired time and usage. For the gas detector pictured left (standard 4 gas monitor LEL, CO, H2S, O2), the recommended calibration period is every six months.
