Should I use Portable Gas Detectors or Fixed Gas Monitors?

Choosing between Portable (Personal) Gas Detectors and Fixed (Continuous) Gas Monitors

The advent of miniaturized electronics and gas sensors has resulted in the widespread adoption of portable or personal gas detection. However, the user should be aware that personal monitors must be functionally verified prior to each use! Verification includes confirming a charged battery, proving response to the target gases, and verification of alarm operation. In high hazard locations, workers should work in pairs and carry a means of communication. For higher traffic or continuously manned areas, personal monitors may not be the most cost-effective, reliable or accountable solution.
