Construction and Key Gas Challenges
Workers in the construction industry are at risk from a wide variety of hazardous gases including Carbon Monoxide (CO), Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2), Methane (CH4), Oxygen (O2), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s). Through the use of specific equipment, transport and the undertaking of sector specific activities, construction is a...
Industry Overview: Battery Power
Batteries are effective at reducing power outages since they can also store excess traditional grid energy. The energy stored within batteries can be released whenever a large volume of power is needed, such as during a power failure at a data centre to prevent data being lost, or as a back-up...
The Benefits of Stainless Steel Gas Detectors
