Specialist Hazard File: Gas detection


As well as the importance of gas detection in confined spaces such as tanks and silos, gas monitoring is vital for safe working in a range of industries. With strong relationships with gas detection industry specialists such as Drager and Crowcon, Anchor Safety experts can support gas monitoring needs in all these areas and more:

  • Gas monitoring in the gas and oil industries is necessary at all levels where there are risks of toxic gases like hydrogen sulphide and explosive gases like methane, in upstream to downstream activities, drilling, refining and transportation.
  • Gas detection in chemical manufacturing and processing is essential, monitoring gas levels to detect leaks and spills.
  • Even the semiconductor industry uses various gases in its processes and requires gas detection to ensure a safe working environment.
  • Food and beverage industries use gases like carbon dioxide and nitrogen in packaging and processing, making gas detection necessary to prevent asphyxiation or toxic effects.
  • Waste-water treatment facilities need gas detection to monitor for potentially harmful gases produced during the treatment process.
  • In aviation gas detection is used for various purposes, including maintenance, fuel storage, and fire prevention.
  • Gas detection in marine industries involves both import and export of potentially hazardous materials as well as work in confined spaces.
