PELs, Action Levels, and setting alarms

Alarms and Regulatory ComplianceBy gdadminMay 29, 2019

In our Gas Detection Applications Primer, we describe the notion of recommended and regulatory limits, as applied to toxic gases in the workplace. Discussed therein are the OSHA parameters of Permissible Exposure Limit, Action Level, and Ceiling Value. If this “Action Level” is detected during initial monitoring of the occupancy in question, that is the…

Be careful with chlorine and don’t be cheap

Marketeer's Notebook: Formerly confidential training info and memos to reps & distributors...now revealed!By gdadminMay 27, 2019

Many years ago, we had a sales rep who took great pride in his home swimming pool. He did all the maintenance himself, and was a top customer at his local pool supply store. Being an engineer, and also knowing some chemistry, he figured that the chemicals obtained on the residential market were overpriced and…

What if you’re unsure about your calibration standard?

Calibration IssuesBy gdadminMay 21, 2019

One of our older sales reps faced this issue many years ago, on a source monitoring job. His instruments were set up in a trailer, ready to demo to a prospective customer. The customer had provided a nice new cylinder labeled “sulfur dioxide in air, 500 ppm.” However, when this gas was applied to an…

How to get low readings with detector tubes–guaranteed

Best PracticesBy gdadminMay 16, 2019

Have you ever heard that “The solution to pollution is dilution”? This little aphorism is usually stated as a sort of inside joke, although it is public policy for radon in residences. We saw this principle in action when home builders affected by the Chinese drywall disaster would sometimes open all windows while the homes…
