I currently have a client that insists via there company policy of detection levels for alarming and evacuation, which I regard as totally rediculous.
Example:- Low level alarm 25ppm, controlled evacuation, High level 35ppm total evacuation and Fire Service attend on site, weighted average zero.
The total plant is 20 odd years old, glands leak, the plant is not smelly.
My reaction is, bad breath and body odour would set alarm off, they have computer monitoring and the levels bounce around constantly.
This is a GF group company, which is relative to the Australasia region , OZ and NZ.
Typical case of OH& S gone mad.
Check 25ppm/ 1000000.00ppm average a bees whisker. The draeger sensors are a there absolute minimum sensitivity and reaction reliability range. The staff spend a lot of time at assembly /evac., areas.
Comments from Australasia and others please
