Gas Detection ‘Not To Be Sniffed At’ Say The Experts
When running a business, gas exposure is not something to be sniffed at. At the lower end of the scale you could suffer with headaches, dizziness and nausea, those who ignore the signs and put workers at risk could face a civil law suit or even worst the guilt of causing death by neglect. As the experts in health and safety equipment, Total Protection UK outline, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Sales and marketing director at Total Protection UK, Mark Haylett said, “There has never been a better time to invest in gas detection equipment, and at Total Protection we realise how important this is, hence why we are proud to introduce the ALTAIR 4 from the MSA Safety company as the latest addition to our health and safety equipment line.”
According to the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, which came into force on 31 October 1998, taking over from the previous Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1994. The Regulations place a stark responsibility on a wide range of people, including those involved with the installation of gas appliances, servicing, repairing or maintaining gas appliances and other gas fittings. The regulations also apply to the suppliers and users of gas, including landlords and also covers gas detection . Making it extremely important to prevent exposure to gas and thus reducing the likelihood of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning or fire and explosion.
T he new ALTAIR 4 gas monitor is one of the most rugged 4 gas detectors available. Not only is it extremely easy-to-use it also measures O 2, H 2S, CO and combustible gas simultaneously, for easy use and peice of mind.
Mr Haylett added, “The ALTAIR 4 is unique in that it offers the customer with MotionAlert, which is revolutionary in the world of portable gas detection and is available as an option on the ALTAIR 4. When enabled, this man-down alarm with motion detector alerts anyone in the vicinity if the user is in distress with a high visibility LEDs and a piercing audible alarm. This gas monitor really is cutting edge and something that we are proud to be able to offer our customers with.”
The user can also alert anyone nearby with a three-second button press, activating the InstantAlert alarm. The ALTAIR 4 comes with a high performance triple alarm system, 24-hour bump test checkmark and comprehensive data-logging facility as standard, making it a highly desirable piece of health and safety equipment to have in any industry.
And what’s more, whether you work in the oil & gas industry, with chemicals, steel & iron, utilities, Fire Service, waste water, civil engineering or the contracting sector, the versatile ALTAIR 4 gas monitor can be configured for each of these individual requirements.
Simple testing of the detector’s alarms along with the testing of the monitors response to a known gas concentration, can be carried out by the QuickCheck test station.
All of the ALTAIR 4’s features provide the user with added confidence in their gas detection purchase, more so than ever before.
My Haylett added, “We invite customers to contact us with any information they require on the ALTAIR 4 and we are so pleased to be one of the leading UK suppliers of this revolutionary gas monitor.”
