Confined space gas detectors are devices that are used to monitor the air quality in confined spaces, such as tanks, silos, wells, and other enclosed areas. These devices are equipped with sensors that can detect a wide range of gases and vapors, including potentially hazardous substances such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and oxygen deficiency.

Confined space gas detectors are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, mining, and construction, where workers may be exposed to potentially dangerous gases and vapors. By providing real-time monitoring of air quality, these devices help to protect workers from the harmful effects of exposure to these substances.

In addition to detecting hazardous gases, confined space gas detectors may also be equipped with additional features such as alarms, data logging, and wireless communication capabilities. These features can help to alert workers to dangerous conditions and provide valuable information for safety audits and incident investigations.

Overall, confined space gas detectors are an important tool for ensuring the safety of workers in industries where they may be exposed to hazardous gases and vapors.

How are they worn?

In normal operation, most confined space instruments are worn on the belt or a helmet. They are used with a shoulder strap or chest harness, or held by hand. Tip: All gas detectors should be positioned within 30cm of the wearer’s mouth for effective personal safety.
