Wireless based monitoring system keeps plant workers safe

摘要

Total Protection provides specialist safety equipment and training, including portable gas detection systems and breathing equipment. WERMA is a leading designer and manufacturer of visual and audible signalling devices, including ATEX approved beacon/ sounders for deployment in Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 hazardous areas. The two companies have collaborated on a number of process industry projects in the past, where their combined product ranges have been used to develop bespoke safety systems for plant operators with particularly difficult and demanding requirements - often requiring ATEX approval. The operator of the South Wales plant - a global leader in the production of silicon-based products - had experienced an incident at another of its sites located outside of the UK, which prompted a review of procedures for entering/monitoring analyser houses where the risk of oxygen depletion poses a hazard to staff.
