Nitrogen is an essential element to all forms of life but can also pose a threat. Known as the invisible killer, due to it’s odourless and tasteless nature, nitrogen gas can be lethal if inhaled in high concentrations.
Hydrogen Sulfide is a naturally occurring chemical that can be produced by bacteria in low oxygen environments, used in many industries despite its hazardous nature.
Mining safety standards have evolved dramatically since personnel were first using canaries to signal the presence of dangerous gases underground.
Hydrogen sulfide is exceptionally hazardous, due to its high levels of flammability and toxicity. Risks to personnel should be known…
Carbon monoxide in a sealed structure, such as a refuge chamber or safe haven, can quickly build to toxic levels – learn about the dangers…
Carbon dioxide in a sealed structure, such as a refuge station, safe haven or controlled environment, can quickly build up and damage your…
Environmental monitoring is a critical aspect of underground safety; technology has evolved to developed integrated digital gas monitoring…
A refuge chamber, also known as refuge station, is a sealed environment, built to sustain life during an emergency or hazardous situation.
Methane hazards can occur during manufacture, use, and transportation. Although we inhale methane in the air we breathe, exposure to high concentrations of methane is dangerous.
Ammonia hazards can occur during manufacture, use, and transportation. Knowing the health and safety hazards of anhydrous ammonia are vital to ERPs.
