Toxic gas leaks, including CO, H₂S and VOCs
Combustible gas build-up
Oxygen depletion in enclosed areas
Exposure to airborne contaminants
Process-related emissions, such as chemical off-gassing
Gas detection systems are essential for identifying hazardous gases in manufacturing environments.
Ensure constant worker safety
Provide continuous monitoring and adherence to legal limits
Trigger alarms when thresholds are exceeded
Support safe operation of equipment and processes
Can be linked to building management systems
Workplace monitoring ensures employees are not exposed to harmful levels of gases or particulates.
Chemical and vapour exposure
Airborne particulates and dust
Biological hazards
Inadequate data with sampling methods
Failure to comply with regulations such as COSHH
Continuous monitoring systems provide 24/7 protection and peace of mind.
Real-time, early leak detection
Automated alerts and alarms
Pre-entry checks for hazardous areas
Ongoing, uninterrupted safety assurance

Integration with existing systems
Manufacturing sites must comply with UK safety regulations and standards, including:
COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health)
DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations)
Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs)
Industry-specific safety standards
Monitoring systems ensure:
Compliance with
regulations
Accurate exposure
assessment
Safer working
environments
Gases, VOCs, solvents, isocyanates, acid mists, wood dust, respirable crystalline silica (RCS), textile dust, grain and sugar dust, paper dust, petroleum-based products, microorganisms and pathogens.
WELs are workplace exposure limits set by the Health & Safety executive (HSE) and are legally binding. Businesses and organisations must ensure that worker exposure to hazardous substances do not exceed these limits.
Gas detection in manufacturing involves monitoring for single or multiple hazardous gases to protect workers and ensure safe operations.
A gas detection panel is a central control unit that receives data from sensors and triggers alarms when gas levels exceed safe limits.
Gas leaks can be tested using:
Workplace exposure monitoring measures the level of hazardous substances workers are exposed to over time. These are workplace exposure limits (WELs) which are required by COSHH and regulated by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). A comprehensive list of WELs can be found in the HSE’s EH40 document.
Gas exposure is monitored using:
Air sampling equipment.
Gas detection must align with:
Gas testing involves measuring gas concentrations to ensure safe levels in a working environment.
