Safety Devices - CO Monitors
One of the greatest areas of Safety concerns in the painting and coatings industry is working in Confined Space environments. Not just for the obvious concerns of Toxic and Combustible gases, but also oxygen deprivation. Most people think of confined space as areas like Tunnels, Tanks, Shafts. But there are also risks associated with using certain equipment inside buildings. One of the greatest dangers is that posed by Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas. We use the QRAE 3, 4-Gas monitor for any confined space work, and when we are using equipment that pose a potential problem with CO gas production, like Propane powered engines. While CO gas is not technically a Toxic Gas, it will not “Sustain Life” like oxygen. Therefore, a buildup of CO Gas just as or more life threatening than Toxic gases.
We prefer the QRAE 3 because it is a Pumped intake rather than just Diffusion like some of the 1-Gas Clip-on Monitors. It also provides the crew with a “Man Down” Alarm. This multi-gas monitor also provides our foreman with the status of Oxygen concentration, not just the presence of CO or Toxic/Combustible gas.
