Undetected gas leaks can put lives in danger and bring productivity to a standstill.  Facilities can better protect themselves by applying a human sensory model approach using different gas sensing technologies to form a stronger chain of defense.  This multi-layered technology approach can reduce risk, lower overall cost, and most importantly save lives. 

To better illustrate this technique, MSA & General Monitors created a short YouTube video titled MSA/GM Gas Detection Technologies highlighting this approach and how it works against hazardous effects of gas release.  It is an excellent overview of MSA's sensing technologies and detection methods including:

• Traditional Smell-based Detectors
• Optical Open-path Infrared Gas Sensors
• Gas Imaging and Optical Flame Detectors
• Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detectors
