Carbon Monoxide Monitoring in Commercial and Industrial Facilities
Carbon monoxide is one of the most hazardous gases in commercial and industrial environments. Carbon monoxide monitoring is essential to ensure the health and safety of all personnel in a facility. Through accurate and intentional detection, carbon monoxide exposure is minimized. Read on to learn more about the importance of carbon monoxide monitoring and how Buckeye’s monitors protect personnel.
Why is Carbon Monoxide Hazardous?
Carbon monoxide is highly dangerous to human health, and enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces allow for a buildup of carbon dioxide, allowing it to reach dangerous levels. Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it virtually undetectable to the human senses until symptoms begin to show up. Symptoms, even at low levels, can include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. Monitors are oftentimes the only way to accurately measure levels of carbon monoxide, making equipment essential.
Where Can Carbon Monoxide Build Up?
Carbon monoxide is present in many spaces with poor ventilation, including parking garages, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers. Parking garages are a common place for carbon monoxide buildup due to vehicle exhaust. In manufacturing facilities, carbon monoxide can build up from equipment such as generators, furnaces, or other industrial equipment used in the manufacturing process.
How to Monitor Carbon Monoxide
The BDS-50 from Buckeye Detection Systems detects carbon monoxide in addition to many other hazardous gases. When installing equipment in an area where carbon monoxide is a concern, other hazardous gases are often present, so installing a fixed detector like the BDS-50 is an excellent method to cover all your facility’s bases.
