Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Gas Detection & Portable Instruments
Yes, our portable gas detectors are ideal for confined space entry and can detect oxygen deficiency, toxic gases, and combustible gases to ensure worker safety.
Yes, all our portable gas detectors are designed to be intrinsically safe, meaning they can be used in explosive environments without posing a risk of ignition.
Yes, our gas detectors are equipped with audible, visual, and vibrational alarms to alert users when gas levels exceed safe thresholds.
Yes, we do provide training. We also provide certificates for the participants who attend demonstrate a certain level of competency of the usage for record keeping purpose.
Yes, Safetyware offers training on the proper use, calibration, and maintenance of gas detectors to ensure optimal performance and safety compliance.
Regular calibration, bump testing, and proper maintenance are essential to ensure the accuracy of your gas detector. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and schedule routine checks.
Choosing the right gas detector depends on the gases present in your work environment. We offer single-gas detectors and multi-gas detectors for monitoring a variety of gases in industrial settings.
Portable gas detectors use sensors to detect the presence of specific gases. When the sensor detects a gas, it triggers an alarm to alert the user. The device may use different types of sensors, such as electrochemical, infrared, catalytic bead, or photoionization detectors (PID).
An SCBA provides breathable air from a high-pressure cylinder carried by the user. The air is delivered through a regulator and a face mask, ensuring the wearer is protected from harmful gases or oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Battery life varies by model and usage. Most portable gas detectors have rechargeable batteries that can last from 8 to 16 hours on a single charge depending on the alarm activation.
We recommend calibrating gas detectors at least once every six months, or more frequently depending on the manufacturer’s guidelines and your work environment.
We recommend annual servicing of your entire SCBA unit based on manufacturer guidelines. Repairs should be performed as needed. Safetyware offers complete servicing, including the mandatory hydrostatic test for the cylinder every 5 years.
Gas detectors should be regularly inspected, calibrated, and stored in a clean, dry area when not in use. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and moisture.
Store your portable gas detector in a clean, dry, and cool place. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, humidity, and contaminants that could damage the sensors.
Generally, there are 2 types of portable gas detectors. One is called the Single Gas Detectors ( PAC ) and the other is called Multi Gas Detectors ( Detector with more than 1 sensor ). Single gas detectors are used to monitor the air that the worker is breathing and the Multi gas detector is used for ambient monitoring.
        Consider the following factors:
- The types of gases you need to detect
- Sensor type and sensitivity
- Battery life
- Size and weight
- Display and alarm features
- Intrinsic safety certifications
- Calibration and maintenance requirements
- Price
- Training on usage
Portable gas detectors can detect a variety of gases, including:
- Oxygen (O2)
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- Hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
- Methane (CH4)
- Propane (C3H8)
- Hydrogen (H2)
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
A bump test is a functional test to ensure that the gas detector’s sensors and alarms are working correctly. It involves exposing the detector to a known concentration of gas to trigger the alarm. Bump tests should be performed daily or before each use. A Bump Test is valid for 24 hrs.
If your gas detector alarms, immediately follow your organization’s safety procedures. This typically involves evacuating the area, identifying the source of the gas, and addressing the issue before returning.
Safetyware offers a comprehensive range of SCBA services, including training with certification, cylinder refilling, annual servicing, and the mandatory 5-year hydrostatic test for cylinders.
Safetyware offers portable and fixed gas detectors designed to detect various gases such as oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, methane, and other combustible and toxic gases.
Fixed gas detectors are installed in specific locations for continuous monitoring, while portable gas detectors are lightweight and can be carried for personal safety in different areas.
