When enriched O2 leaks, it poses a number of risks including fire, explosion and a condition on the human body called hyperoxia which can cause the central nervous system to shut down. When an inert gas leaks it displaces the oxygen also posing a risk to life. Even a very small reduction in oxygen can cause effects on the human body such as headaches, confusion and shortness of breath. Normal atmosphere contains 20.9% oxygen and levels should be maintained in any area around this level. Using an oxygen monitor, like the Safe-Ox+, is the best way to protect people and your site in these potentially hazardous environments. The Safe-Ox+ also ensures adherence to exposure limit legislation such as OSHA and EH40.
The Safe-Ox+ is an oxygen enrichment and depletion monitor designed to protect the lives of those working in and around gases such as O2, N2 and He. This fixed system can be wall mounted within minutes. It consists of a main sensor unit which is mounted in the room with the danger gas. A remote repeater alarm is installed at the entrance to the area so you know if it is safe to enter or not. Both parts of the system offer audible and visual alarms and the main unit continuously displays the ambient O2 levels for the area.
