[Read more…]Confined Space Gas Detectors… and the Fatal Failure to Communicate
20 November 2018
Confined space gas detectors save lives, but only when we solve *this* communication problem and understand how to properly rescue those we cannot reach.
A quote from the 1967 film “Cool Hand Luke” perfectly sums up the problems we all face with confined spaces… [Read more…]
How are wireless gas detectors changing confined space entries?
14 May 2018
Continuous monitoring of the atmosphere within a confined space has always been considered a best practice, but is difficult and often impractical to implement. In this Ask John we answer the question about how the flexibility of wireless gas detectors is changing the way we test the atmosphere inside confined spaces.
Previously, the attendant assigned to the confined space entry monitored the atmosphere inside the space with [Read more…]
Is a gas detector with pump better than a non-pumped gas detector?
27 March 2018
Some people believe a gas detector with pump is far better – that no pump means less accuracy, slower response, and it simply won’t detect as much gas. FACT: A gas detector with pump doesn’t mean it is more accurate, responds quicker or covers more area around you. But it will make some tasks much easier and safer.
Exactly when and how pumps should be used is a common topic.
Why use a pump with a gas detector?

Gas Detector Calibration vs Bump Test – What’s the difference?
21 February 2017
Short answer: A gas detector calibration is more thorough & confirms the accuracy of gas detection. Bump tests just check the sensor & alarm actually work.
Gas Detector Bump Test
A bump test is defined as… [Read more…]
Why use gas detectors when working in confined spaces?
14 December 2016
In this Ask John we explain confined spaces and the lurking hazards. Then we answer the question… Why use gas detectors when working in confined spaces?
Confined space definition…
“An enclosed or partially enclosed space that is not intended or designed primarily for human occupancy. It is liable to have an atmosphere that contains harmful contaminants or not contain a safe oxygen level. It may have contents that could cause engulfment. It may have restricted means for entry and exit.”
