Confined Space Monitors

The dangers hiding in confined spaces often go unnoticed until the damage is done. Toxic gases combined with insufficient oxygen levels and combustible dust work together to create the perfect storm, leaving workers vulnerable to fatigue, unconsciousness, or even death. Outfitting workers with gas monitoring devices and the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) can make the difference between a life or death situation. Confined spaces include, but are not limited to, tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, pits, manholes, tunnels, equipment housings, ductwork, pipelines, etc.

Applications: Oil and gas, chemical companies, refineries and water treatment plans.

Detector Tubes and Pumps

Detector tubes are a reliable method of spot testing for more than 200 hazardous gases and vapors. Gas detector tubes use chemical reactions to indicate the presence of harmful atmospheric hazards. They provide an economical solution when it comes to routine or spot sampling and they are easy to use.

Air sampling pumps have automatic constant flow assuring sampling is maintained within +/- 5% of the initial set point. Personal air sampling pumps deliver enhanced performance, greater versatility, and superior design and comfort.

Applications: Oil and gas, chemical companies, refineries, pulp and paper, water treatment plants and security.

Fixed Point Gas Detection Systems

Hazardous gas is oftentimes a product of common industrial processes. Mounted or “fixed” gas detection systems are installed in a facility to help mitigate risk by signaling an alarm system and stopping the process once a leak is detected. This type of system is not only beneficial in protecting workers from hazardous leaks but also members of the community and adjacent facilities. Gas readings are transmitted wirelessly to a central controller, making the system easier and more economical to install.

Applications: Oil, gas & petrochemical refineries, chemical plants, automotive manufacturing facilities, municipal water, wastewater treatment facilities, HVAC, hospitals/other medical facilities, iron & steel and mining.

Industrial Hygiene Products

ORR Safety offers a variety of industrial hygiene products to meet your industry needs. Our products include both industrial hygiene personal monitors and area sampling for chemicals, particles, noise, thermal stress and more. To stay in line with regulatory compliance, hygiene monitoring is performed over an 8 hour period. It is important to compare results to OSHA’s Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs), which are often expressed as an 8-hour time-weighted average. Personal monitoring is performed by drawing air from the worker's breathing zone, whereas area monitoring collects an air sample within a fixed location.

Products we offer:
• Air Sampling Monitors
• Noise Dosimeters
• Indoor Air Quality Monitors
• Heat Stress Monitors
• Dust Monitors

Applications: Oil and gas, chemical companies, refineries, pulp and paper, water treatment plants and security.

Lone Worker Monitors

Blackline Safety’s connected solutions provide everything you need to keep your workers safe—in any industry or environment. The G7 lone worker monitor detects a person-down event when an employee is motionless and triggers an alarm, notifying monitoring personnel to take action. Accidents due to falls, gas leaks or severe weather are able to be tracked instantly, allowing a faster emergency response time. The G7 also features two-way voice communication, text messaging and location mapping, keeping teams connected and safe while working in the field.

Applications: Utilities and public works, oil and gas, geologists, land surveyors, inspectors, loggers, government agencies, fire and police departments, engineering & construction, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation and logistics

Multi and Single Gas Monitors

Hazardous atmospheres contaminated by toxic vapors and combustible dust are present in nearly all industries. Before entering an unknown environment or confined space, workers should test all areas before and during entry procedures. Multi and single gas monitors are useful in these applications to notify workers of potential contaminants or hazards that could result in injury. They are inexpensive and provide basic but critical information to workers about the conditions of their surroundings.

Applications: Chemical plants, paper mills, refineries, underground mines and utility passageways.

Photoionization and Exotic Gas Detectors

PIDs provide an effective way to detect and monitor for various hazardous substances such as ammonia, chlorine, and formaldehyde. Unlike other gas detection methods, photoionization detectors offer the combination of speed of response, ease of use and maintenance, small size, and ability to detect low levels, including most volatile organic compounds (voCs). Examples of organic compounds include kerosene, propane, and gasoline.

Applications: Confined space, industrial, security and law enforcement, fire service and hazmat applications.
