Protecting workers from gas hazards
13 October 2025
ACROSS INDUSTRIES such as petrochemical, wastewater, and energy, reliable gas detection is vital for worker safety.

The ARA Single Gas Detector is compact, lightweight, and easy to use, continuously monitoring for O₂, CO, SO₂, or H₂S. With bright LED, audible, and vibration alarms, it ensures instant warnings even in harsh conditions. Its maintenance-free design offers up to three years of operation, plus hibernation mode for intermittent users. IP67-rated and intrinsically safe, the ARA H₂S is a trusted, cost-effective choice for refineries, wastewater sites, and confined spaces.
For multiple hazards, the ARA-X4 Multi Gas Detector monitors up to four gases simultaneously. It features a clear backlit display, data logging, automated docking for testing and calibration, and a durable, IP67-rated design. Backed by a five-year warranty, it delivers reliable long-term protection in demanding environments.
