Considerations for Buying a Single Gas Detector

21 Jan, 2016

Published over 10 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Personal gas detector.

Portable single gas detectors are used for personal protection and have the ability to detect a single gas hazard. Typically they are small, lightweight and robust. These devices are generally worn directly on the worker’s clothing or attached to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), close to the worker’s breathing area.

Single gas detectors continuously monitor ambient air. When the gas concentration exceeds a pre-set alarm event on the device, it will alarm (by visual, audible and/or motion). This allows workers to react directly to risks.
