The modern industrial environment can be a challenging place to work, with many volatile chemicals in place that can cause health risks for staff who are exposed to them. It is essential that as many precautions are taken as possible to ensure that staff are protected in the event o a release of gas, and through the use of multi gas detectors, it is possible to provide staff with the equipment that they need in order to take appropriate action in the event that toxins are present.

There are a number of different multi gas detectors on the market, and all of them work in a similar way in order to inform the user of any potential risks. The detectors collect samples of the ambient air, through a sampler and pass this through a number of filters that can detect a variety of different chemicals such as carbon monoxide. Once the chemicals are detected at a predetermined level, an alarm is raised using a combination of light, sound and vibration in order to let the user know. This gives the user plenty of time to put on a gas mask or vacate the area, and increases workplace safety.

The most important factors that need to be considered when you choose multi gas detectors are that they are robust enough to stand up to the kind of punishment that they receive in an industrial setting, that they are accurate enough to detect gases when they are present without setting off false alarms, and also that the detectors are reliable enough to last through an entire shift.

MSA is one of the best known manufacturers of multi gas detectors and offer a choice of two main ranges through Red Hill Supply. The Orion multi gas detector is very much the flagship model in the range, and at $1565 per unit is a cost effective and accurate solution to your staff protection needs. Featuring an easy to use one touch calibration system coupled with a highly efficient internal pump, the Orion system has a large and easy to read display, and comes complete with a 10 foot sample line to ensure that the best possible results are obtained in order to give staff appropriate warning that they need to put on their masks for safety.

The Solaris Multi Gas Detector from MSA is a high quality and effective system for personal safety, and comes in a number of different configurations for ease of use. The Solaris has been designed with reliability and robustness in mind. It is a high quality tool that can monitor the environment for a wide variety of different chemicals including Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen Sulfide, and thanks to a 100dB audible alarm, a high intensity LED display, and a vibrating warning as well, staff will be able to take appropriate action as soon as gas is detected.

Solaris multi gas detectors start from just $783.75 for the MSA 10048147 model, and come complete with everything that you need to use them including a high capacity Li Ion battery that provides a 14 hour lifespan, and can be recharged quickly. The Solaris has been designed to stand up to the hardest treatment that can come from a typical industrial environment including a fully rubberized armor that will protect it if dropped.

With all the different multi gas detectors available, the most important factor is that they are easy to use. MSA products feature one touch calibration for quick set up, and thanks to an easy to read LCD display, the user has at a glance information about their environment, and can easily take precautions if necessary as soon as any gases are discovered in the air.
