Case Study

Fire Department Protects City with Industrial Scientific Area Monitors & Live Monitoring

A major metro fire department responsible for fire, hazmat, and public safety duties uses area monitors during large public events to detect gas hazards and determine whether to evacuate the area. The fire department’s previous area monitors were purchased for remote monitoring, but consistent connection issues prevented the area monitors from relaying gas readings to the mobile command center.

Case Study

Case Study

Lone Workers in the Hierarchy of Safety Controls

A large oil and gas producer was in the market to outfit lone workers with new safety equipment at one of its operations in the western United States. Lone worker solutions have come a long way in taking full advantage of current technology. While lone worker solutions are important, they only make up a small portion of the PPE (personal protective equipment) market.

Case Study

New Gas Detection Equipment and iNet® Exchange Restore Consistency

Two neighboring off-shore rigs owned by one of the world’s largest oil companies set the stage for a much needed unified solution: Platform 1, over twenty years in operation, equipped with an aging gas detection fleet that required ongoing heavy maintenance and replacement of parts; and Platform 2, a much newer counterpart, interchangeably operated by some of the same personnel, and yet to be outfitted with gas safety equipment.

Case Study

The Battery Life of the Radius® BZ1 Area Monitor Excels During Plant Shutdown

Continuous operational processes at an industrial plant are typically shut down 5% or less per year, yet 70% of major accidents occur during non-routine (start-up, shutdown, or online maintenance) operations. Why?
