Personal SO2 Detection
ION Sciences’ ARA Personal Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Detector
The Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) single gas detector is a cost-effective personal detector with 24 months months of continuous operation. This wearable gas detector has only one button to make use simple and alerts workers when concentration levels exceed set safety levels.
SO2 gas detectors such as ION Sciences’ ARA SO2 detector should be considered as they alert the personnel of dangerous levels of gas exposure. Devices with a fast response time and sturdy construction are important for use in harsh environments where SO2 may occur. ARA SO2 detectors help to protect yourself/your employers from this potentially lethal gas with a personal SO2 alarm.
How Can Employers Help Prevent SO2 Poisoning?
- Provide personal SO2 monitors with audible alarms if potential exposure to SO2 exists.
- Install an effective ventilation system that will remove SO2 from work areas.
- Educate workers about the sources and conditions that may result in SO2 poisoning as well as the symptoms and control of SO2 exposure.
- Maintain equipment and appliances (e.g., water heaters, space heaters, cooking ranges) that can produce SO2 in good working order to promote their safe operation and to reduce So2 formation.
