Intrinsically safe toolkit
01 March 2017
Intrinsic safety has long been a recognised term in gas detection. However, affordable IS technology is now available for other detection applications.

You can safely measure wherever you need to with Intrinsically Safe sound level meters, noise dosimeters and direct reading dust monitors too. Occupational hygienists can now capture and interpret data live, even in the most arduous environments.
The SE-401 IS sound level meter offers a Class One capability, while noise dosimeters such as the SV 104IS have octave band measurement and voice/noise recording. The AM520i gives direct particulate readings in IS environments for Total Dust, PM10, PM2.5 and PM1. For gas monitors, the drawback has always been battery life. Now the BW Clip4 and the MGC Simple offer two year continuous use.
The latest in communication and GPS location have come together in Blackline Safety’s new G7. The modular series offers gas detection alongside two-way messaging, speakerphone, man down alarm, motion detection and GPS location tracking. Issues are immediately and accurately diagnosed with exact locations pinpointed for instant response.
