Portable gas detectors are essential components of a worker’s personal protection equipment arsenal. Mainly used in small or confined spaces with limited ventilation, these devices communicate the presence of toxic gases & oxygen levels in the air. With their accurate sensors, they detect any deficiency or gas leaks to alert users to take immediate action to ensure the safety of everyone in the vicinity.

Worn in areas with high concentrations of oxygen, these devices use both light & sound to alert the threat of a fire or explosion caused by a simple frictional spark. Industries including mining, chemical processing, first response, & utility services utilize portable gas detectors to keep users safe from injury or possible fatalities.

During my career in the safety products industry, I’ve helped design award winning portable gas detection devices and their calibration systems based on in person voice of customer visits with Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Dominion Power, Boehringer / Ingelheim Pharmaceutical, Con Edison, & the NYC Fire Department HazMat Operations Team. With this invaluable data these devices continue to keep workers safe & reduced fatalities worldwide.
