When it comes to workplace safety, gas detection systems are not something you can “set and forget.” Over time, sensors can degrade, settings can drift, and undetected issues could put your team, operations, and compliance at serious risk. Regular checks ensure that your Fixed Gas Detection system is working correctly, providing continuous protection against hazardous leaks.
Why Fixed Gas Detection Systems Are Important — and Often Essential
Safety
Fixed gas detection systems offer constant monitoring, providing early alerts to potential leaks and helping protect both employees and the public.
Insurance
Many insurers may insist on or recommend fixed gas detection, especially for businesses with higher gas-related risks, as part of their policy conditions.
Liability
In the event of a leak or explosion, having a detection system in place can prove proactive safety efforts and reduce exposure to legal claims.
Legislation
While not always clearly mandated, several gas safety regulations and standards strongly encourage the use of fixed detection systems.
Risk Assessment
Regular risk assessments help businesses identify hazards and decide if fixed gas detection is necessary to properly safeguard staff and assets.
