Gas Detectors for Confined Spaces

Yes, you will need to regularly calibrate your multi gas detector to ensure it provides accurate readings and responds correctly to hazards. Sensors can drift and lose accuracy over time due to environmental factors, contamination and age. We recommend calibrating your gas detector every 6 months.

Multi gas detectors are incredibly useful as they provide a single, portable unit to monitor for multiple hazards simultaneously. They are crucial for managing unpredictable environments where gas risks are not limited to a single known hazard. By providing real-time alerts, these devices can prevent gas exposure, poisoning, explosions and oxygen depletion, significantly improving worker safety in confined spaces and allowing for rapid incident response.

To use your gas detector, first press the power button to turn it on and allow it to complete a self test. Familiarise yourself with the different alarms for different gases and ensure that you know how to wear the device correctly to sample the surrounding air. Before use, always perform a 'bump test' in fresh air to make sure the device is functioning properly. The device is ready for measurement when the yellow LEDs stop blinking and the readings are continuously displayed.
