Food processing plants, barns and pens, leather processing plants, hospitals, and grocery stores — in many industries and amenities, decontaminating regions with disinfectants or other compounds to eliminate bacteria or other biological items is required on a regular basis.
But this process can create poisonous gasses, such as:
— Hydrogen Peroxide
— Ammonia
— Chlorine
— Hydrogen Chloride
— Ozone
Security solutions
Decontamination employees typically wear full-body protection against gases led to the decontamination process.
Gases should be tracked during all stages of the decontamination process – prior to employees re-entering the region, during decontamination and when PPE is being eliminated by decontamination personnel.
Fixed gas sensors are recommended to alert of gas escapes, prior to personnel entering the storage area where decontamination substances are stored.
