Portable and personal Gas Detectors are compact devices for workplace monitoring, detecting in real time the presence of harmful gases that are hazardous to health in line with the COSHH Regulations 2002. They are easy to carry and provide immediate alerts to the presence of toxic gases, flammable and combustible gases as well as oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Portable gas detectors serve as an early warning system, alerting workers and ensuring they can respond quickly to dangerous conditions that could lead to poisoning, explosions, or suffocation.
Equipped with advanced sensors, these wireless, handheld devices are ideal for personal protection in confined spaces, routine inspections, and emergency response situations. Features include data logging, alarms, and wireless connectivity, enhancing their functionality and integration into safety protocols.
Gas detectors are available with the capability of monitoring more than one gas simultaneously, and are therefore perfect for many applications where multiple gases may be present.
Common Gases for monitoring
The four most common gases monitored are: LEL, Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Sulphide and Oxygen but there are many other more exotic gases that you may need to monitor for. We supply a range of gas detectors that can monitor for Volatile Organic Compound (VOC), Phosphine, Ethylene Oxide or Methane.
Single Gas Detectors
Single gas detectors, or 1 gas detectors, provide a cost-effective monitoring solution in situations where you know there will only ever be one potential hazardous gas.
Muli-Gas Detectors
For employees that are operating in areas which may be exposing them to multiple hazardous gases, multi-gas detectors play a vital role in their protection. There are gas detectors available in two gas, three gas, four gas and even five gas versions.
Castle also provide calibration and maintenance services for gas detectors. Find more information here.
