Gas Detection: Bump Testing - There Simply is No Other Option to Ensure Your Safety [Aug 2010]
True story: On a warm summer morning, the operations crew sat in the control room of a rural western US manufacturing facility. During their morning discussion, one of the operators noticed the smell of gas.
Methods of Soil Analysis - A summary of some of the many methods of soil analysis [Dec 2009]
Soils are an extremely complex matrix to analyse, particularly on contaminated sites - the actual soil matrix can vary from a sand (silica) to limestone (calcium carbonate) to clay (complexed minerals), or a mixture of many. In addition to this, the range of contaminants varies from fairly innocuous construction materials to toxic gasworks waste to highly toxic pharmaceutical waste/ mercury/explosives, etc.
Noise Measurement - A five point checklist to choosing the right equipment [Nov 2009]
Noise legislation, designed to protect hearing and prevent noise nuisance, is becoming tougher and more widespread. It’s a response to our increased understanding of the damage that noise can do to hearing, and the negative impact it can have on quality of life in the wider community.
Calibrate with Confidence [Jan 2009]
Calibration is the key to accurate gas detection
Gas detectors are life saving devices. They are precision instruments that are built solely to measure and monitor potentially lethal gases in the workplace. The only way to ensure that a gas monitor will accurately respond to the hazardous gas or gases it is designed to detect is to calibrate the sensors against a known gas standard.
Continuous Noise Monitoring [Jun 2008]
Considerations for permanent noise monitoring for environmental applications
The increasing awareness of the public of environmental issues such as CO2 emissions, carbon footprints and waste recycling has brought the issue of environmental noise to the fore. Many of the demands of modern society result in the creation of noise sources such as larger airports, additional power stations and higher road traffic levels.

Monitoring You Can Trust [Oct 2007]
Developments in gas detection
Gas monitoring instruments used by occupational and environmental health and safety (OEHS) professionals have come a long way in improvements since the days of analog monitors designed to warn coal miners of the presence of methane gas. They are advanced to the point where the instruments are chock-full of exceptional features and functionality, much of which comes standard with the product. New or improved technologies have helped to raise the bar, as well as market expectations, resulting in better products and more choices.
Confined Spaces [Jul 2007]
Choosing the best confined space gas detector
The “best” confined space gas detector doesn’t come from any one manufacturer; it’s the instrument that best fulfils the requirements for your confined space programme.
Traceable Temperature and Humidity Measurement [Sep 2006]
The importance of calibrated, traceable instruments for measurement
Measurement is an aspect of life that most of us take for granted - when buying a litre of wine, whether in Athens, or Brussels or Copenhagen we expect to get 1 litre. In fact the reason we get the same measure is not due to chance - it’s due to the standardised national measurement systems of the EU.
