In shipping and offshore facilities, such as oil platforms, the safety level is higher than average. This has to do with the special circumstances on the open water (canal, river or sea). In most cases, employees cannot get away quickly enough in the event of a gas accident and direct help from outside can also take longer than desired. Besides the many risks that a gas hazard brings on its own, there are also secondary dangers such as panic and limited space for movement. These sources of danger also count towards your choice for the ideal gas detection system, where Hatech is happy to provide you their expert advice that covers your needs as much as possible.
The choice of your gas detection system will of course also highly dependent on the type of ship, the cargo, the space(s) to be protected and the associated risks.
