Testing A Confined Space Before You Open It
The most dangerous moment in a confined space entry is not the entry. It is the thirty seconds before it, when somebody lifts a cover and the atmosphere inside meets…
Chlorine Gas Detection
Chlorine is in more Australian workplaces than most people realise. Water treatment and sewage effluent. Pulp bleaching in paper mills. Sanitising equipment and utensils in food and beverage processing. Manufacturing…
Choosing An Air Quality Monitor
Most conversations about low cost air quality monitoring start in the wrong place. They start with accuracy. That is understandable. A reference grade monitoring station is more accurate than a…
The Guide to Gas Detection for Water & Wastewater Facilities
When people think about hazards in a water or wastewater treatment plant, they usually picture slips, trips, machinery or chemicals. The reality is that some of the biggest risks are…
Fixed Gas Detection for Offshore FPSOs and Risers
Offshore oil and gas facilities operate in some of the most complex and hazardous industrial environments in the world. Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels (FPSOs), semi-submersible platforms, and subsea…
Robotic Gas Detection in Post-Blast Mining
Post-blast environments in underground mines are among the most hazardous workplaces in the industry. Toxic gases, oxygen depletion, and combustible atmospheres can persist long after explosives are fired, putting both…
Australian Worksites Are Turning to Fixed Benzene Gas Detection
Benzene is one of the most hazardous chemicals found on industrial worksites, especially in petrochemical, asphalt, and processing operations. As awareness around its risks grows, so does the need for…
3D Gas and Flame Mapping Available from Gastech
Gastech offers 3D gas and flame mapping through hazmap3D, a powerful software platform that models gas and fire hazards across a whole site, with a level of accuracy and visual…
Gas Sampling Tips for Portable Gas Detectors
Using a pumped portable gas detector to sample the air inside a confined space is one of the most important steps in ensuring worker safety before entry. Getting the sampling…
More Control with the GDFM Gas Detector Fleet Manager
On a busy site, gas detectors get passed between users, shifts and contractors. Keeping track of who has which instrument, and whether it’s charged and in date, quickly turns into…
Looking for a cost-effective fixed gas detector
In industries where gas hazards are part of daily operations, reliable gas detection equipment is non-negotiable. But not every site needs the most advanced, feature-heavy system on the market. Sometimes,…
Monitor VOCs in Hazardous Areas with the Falco 2 11.7
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are harmful gases released by fuels, solvents, paints, adhesives, and other industrial chemicals. In confined or hazardous environments, these gases can quickly reach dangerous levels, risking…
Gas Detection for Battery Energy Storage Systems
The global energy shift is no longer coming, it’s here. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), once seen as an emerging technology, are now an essential part of how industry, infrastructure,…
Gas Detector Sensor Life Expectancy
Given the critical role gas detectors play in workplace safety, keeping sensors in good working condition is not optional. A sensor that is past its service life or has been…
Gas Detection for Water Treatment
The evolution of gas detectors has seen many technological advances, including more sophisticated and sensitive sensors, improved data logging and communication capabilities, and smaller, more portable instruments. Yet despite these…
Hazards Firefighters Face
Firefighters are exposed to a variety of harmful and poisonous compounds on the job. This includes workers who handle dangerous materials, clean up after disasters or combat fires directly. When…
Beware of the Toxic Twins!
The deadly duo you should know about. While Carbon Monoxide (CO) gets a lot of attention in various fields, Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) is often found alongside it. Together, the two…
Gas Detector Sensor Cross Sensitivity
Cross sensitivity is a sensor’s reaction to gases other than the one it is designed to detect. Exposing a sensor to a non-target gas can cause an unwanted effect a…
