A portable CO2 detector has been developed to enhance safety for workers in environments where carbon dioxide is used or stored.
The PRO-10 Portable CO2 safety detector developed by a Florida based leading gas detection solutions provider, Ormond Beach and is designed for real-time monitoring, ensuring personnel safety in industries such as food and beverage, dry ice production, indoor agriculture, and scientific research. Its versatility makes it a valuable tool for restaurant staff, brewery operators, agricultural workers, and laboratory personnel, all of whom face risks associated with carbon dioxide exposure. The device plays a critical role in preventing accidents caused by carbon dioxide exposure.
“High concentrations of carbon dioxide can result in dizziness, unconsciousness, and in severe cases, even death.” Given that carbon dioxide is colorless and odorless, small leaks can quickly escalate into hazardous situations. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), exposure to levels greater than 5000 parts per million (ppm) over an eight-hour period can pose serious health risks.
Incorporating user feedback for the previous sensor, the company has enhanced the property of the detector. It features advanced gas detection technologies, providing a robust solution for on-the-go safety monitoring and continuously measuring levels from 0 ppm to 50,000 ppm, ensuring immediate detection of any fluctuations in gas concentration. Additionally, the detector activates both audible and visual alarms when gas levels exceed safe thresholds, adhering to OSHA standards.
The device is built to withstand harsh environments, making it suitable for various applications, from commercial kitchens to industrial settings. Its rechargeable battery offers over 72 hours of continuous use, providing reliability for long shifts without frequent recharging.
Overall, the portable gas detector represents a significant advancement in workplace safety, providing essential monitoring capabilities to protect personnel effectively.
