The QESH Manager of a manufacturing and process engineering company objective was to find a gas detection system that provided a greater insight into how gas detection equipment was used on site to ultimately protect their workers working on their customer’s sites.

Teams of contractors operate worldwide in USA, Europe and Middle East . The company are frustrated at the poor quality of gas detection that is given to their contracting staff on site whilst they are there to carry out contracted work. To protect their staff, the QESH manager wanted to purchase reliable gas detectors and invest in docking stations to allow them to bump test and calibrate all equipment themselves. 

The company did their own research and found iNet InSite  from Industrial Scientific which helps to achieve an effective gas detection programme – maintaining the gas detection instruments, keeping records, and gaining visibility into what hazards workers are exposed to and how instruments are being used.

The company approached a1-cbiss because they are a distributor for Industrial Scientific in the UK. 

The company wanted 14 gas detection kits in total which included 4 or 5 gas detection units, a docking station, a calibration gas cylinder and a wall mounted calibration cylinder holder in each. 

a1-cbiss (UK) were more than happy to visit site and speak with the QESH Manager to completely understand what it was that he and his company required. A tour around the facility helped identify where the docking stations would be positioned and where the calibration equipment could be installed on the wall.

iNet InSite is Industrial Scientific's unique gas detection solution and is designed to aid users to get the full potential from their gas detection monitors and gain the necessary visibility into their overall gas monitoring performance and data collection.   

iNet InSite utilises the MX4’s - portable gas detectors for the detection of carbon monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Oxygen (O2) and Combustible gases (LEL). 

The company wanted to make a quick decision and chose a1-cbiss because they were able to carry out the install using their in-house engineering team or portable gas detection product manager. Since placing the order with a1-cbiss, a1-cbiss have kept the company up to date with every step of the project until install took place.
