Chlorine Gas Safety and Health Risks
Health and safety risks of chlorine gas can occur during professional or personal use. Widely used in manufacturing and industrial applications, chlorine gas can become a severe hazard if accidental release, leaks, or transportation incidents occur. Knowing what chlorine is, as well as its health and safety risks is critical.
Monitoring Gas Levels in Tunnelling
Monitoring gas levels in tunnelling and underground construction is crucial to providing a safe work environment. How can this be done safely and effectively?
Gas Monitors for a Tunnelling Refuge Chamber
Gas monitors for a tunnelling refuge chamber allows occupants to measure levels in and outside of a chamber and taking corrective action to maintain a safe environment.
Monitoring Gas Levels in Mines
Monitoring gas levels in mines and underground is crucial to providing a safe work environment. How can this be done safely and effectively?
Gas Monitors for a Refuge Chamber
Gas monitors for a refuge chamber allows occupants to measure levels in and outside of a chamber; taking corrective action to maintain a safe environment.
Hazardous Gases: Methane
If Methane levels rise, the risk also increases. The potential for ignition and explosion of methane is one of the most severe natural hazards.
Hazardous Gases: Hydrogen Sulfide
Hydrogen sulfide is exceptionally hazardous, due to its high levels of flammability and toxicity. Personnel should be aware of the potential risks.
Hazardous Gases: Carbon Monoxide
What is Carbon Monoxide? Also known as the ‘silent killer’ it is highly toxic. It is present underground, at chemical facilities and can build up within a refuge chamber.
Hazardous Gases: Carbon Dioxide
What is Carbon Dioxide? Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless and odourless gas, existing in Earth’s atmosphere as a trace gas at a concentration of about 400ppm (0.04%) by volume. Natural sources of CO2 include volcanoes and hot springs, and being soluble in water, it occurs naturally in groundwater, rivers, lakes, ice caps, glaciers, and […]
