Identifying and quantifying hazards is the starting point for choosing sensing technology. As not all detectors are the same, they should be selected according to their ability to detect the hazard.
This paper gives a broad summary of technologies
Precisely controlling the humidity levels within a cleanroom environment can maximise product quality and yields, ensure worker comfort and eliminate electro-static build-up.
Standard heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment cannot
TOP-SET® Governors Investigator 3 is an incident investigation and analysis tool for Microsoft Windows,
including the latest Vista edition. The core of the TOP-SET investigation technique is to learn the right
lessons from an incident to prevent
Cablesafe® is a development from the offshore industry to improve safety on decks, stairs, scaffolding and other structures. More than 20% of accidents are the result of falls caused by tripping over electrical cables, welding cables, fire hoses
The oil and gas, petrochemical and chemical industries demand process and safety technology of the highest standard from their equipment suppliers. Productivity, quality and production safety are among the factors that determine a company’s success.
The TORO™ is the latest evolution in crane assisted transfer devices for the offshore industry. Incorporating design principles from existing transfer devices, the TORO can transfer four people and provides a combination of advanced passenger
Process-systems operators today face increasing demands
for lower costs and higher safety standards in an increasingly regulated environment. In addition, companies desire to provide a working environment that is as safe as possible. As a result,
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas can cause nausea, headaches,
unconsciousness and death. Industries struggle to detect this deadly substance before it harms workers or communities. Safety system manufacturers have developed detectors that sense the H2S
Decommissioning offshore installations has received a very high level of attention over the last few years and this attention is not
likely to decline, given the significant number of facilities
reaching the end of their economic production life.

following recent developments in
the industry, the time could now be
right for offshore operators to
review their emergency transfer
options.

From offshore West Africa to the Gulf of Mexico, millions of crane transfers are performed every
year; but unlike the aviation sector, details of incidents and accidents are virtually impossible to
obtain. This lack of knowledge and understanding
Developing a suitable transfer option to a remote oil and gas field in the Arctic Circle posed a major challenge - but not an impossible one, thanks to careful planning, proper training and safer transfer device.
Besides the extreme climate
The new model FL4000 flame detector from General Monitors is an advanced Multi-Spectral InfraRed (MSIR) device designed to operate at a longer range with a wider field of view to provide superior false alarm immunity.
The FL4000 employs
Continuing advances in infrared technology have resulted in fail-to-safe hydrocarbon gas point detectors that continuously monitor combustible gases and vapors within the lower explosive limit (LEL) and provide alarm indication. Other features of these
To develop an appropriate strategy for the implementation of a combustible gas detection system, a basic understanding of the properties of combustible materials is necessary. In our discussion we will identify the general properties necessary for
