To minimize risks, a plant-wide gas monitoring system must meet the specific needs of

the facility in terms of system inputs and outputs and data acquisition.

Plant-Wide Gas Monitoring for Risk Control

as monitoring has become an integral part of many environmental protection and safety programs. Because of

increased attention to risks posed by gas, systems that simply annunciate an alarm condition are no longer

adequate. Gas monitoring programs now comprise employee training, data analysis, multiple alarm strategies,

self-diagnostic system verification, and documentation. Data communication has also become a fundamental

component of system design and operation as well. And finally, environmental factors help guide the program

selection process.

GAS MONITORING RATIONALE

Gas Monitoring is an integral part of environmental protection and safety programs. There are three major

categories of hazardous gases. Combustible gases pose a risk to personnel and facilities through fire or explosion..

Oxygen displacing gases deplete workers' oxygen supply in confined spaces. Toxic gases create both immediate

and long term risks to personnel. Toxic gases are those OSHA and other organizations have defined as hazardous to

human health. They are typically monitored both below and above the threshold limit value (TLV). TLV is an

8-hour time weighted average concentration that is the highest value acceptable as a safe working environment.

System design requirements such as the number of sensors required, sensor placement, and system alarm levels will

vary according to the type of gas.

A properly designed gas risk management program can reduce risk. A successful program needs to first, identify the

hazards at the facility, then assess the risk of a hazardous event to the plant, personnel, the community and the

environment. Next, the program needs to comply with insurance, legal and regulatory requirements. Also, liabilities

and financial risks need to be evaluated. Finally, the program must incorporate company safety philosophies.

Through such a program you can reduce the risks associated with hazardous gas leaks at your facility. Sierra

Monitor offers products that provide critical data to prompt corrective action before a minor leak becomes a major

event. Information can be retrieved from the equipment display, printed locally or recorded by a computer. This

information aids in evaluating potential hazards in relation to operating practices.
