Critical Safety Hazard

Oxygen Depletion —
The Silent Killer

Oxygen deficiency is invisible, odourless and colourless. It kills without warning. A leak of any inert or flammable gas — nitrogen, argon, CO₂, methane — can silently displace oxygen in seconds. Victims often feel nothing before losing consciousness.

Rapid Incapacitation

At 16% O₂, cognitive function is impaired. At 12%, a person loses consciousness within seconds — too fast to raise the alarm or evacuate.

👁

No Sensory Warning

Unlike smoke or toxic fumes, oxygen-deficient air smells and tastes completely normal. Workers have no indication of danger until it is too late.

Legal Duty of Care

Under COSHH and the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997, employers are legally required to monitor atmospheres and protect workers from asphyxiation risk.

Keeping People Safe Everywhere

From university teaching labs to oil refineries, oxygen depletion and toxic gas hazards exist wherever gases are stored, processed or used. We protect the people who work in those environments every day.

Laboratories

Research & University Labs

Liquid nitrogen dewars, cryogenic storage and inert gas supplies create serious oxygen depletion risks for students and researchers.

Industrial

Petrochemical & Manufacturing

Confined spaces, process vessels and gas storage areas demand continuous monitoring and immediate alarm capability to protect your workforce.

Medical & Clinical

Hospitals & Medical Gas Stores

Oxygen enrichment from medical gas lines is a serious fire risk. Depletion in plant rooms threatens engineers and maintenance personnel.

Full Lifecycle Support

From initial survey and installation through to annual calibration and emergency repair, we cover the full lifecycle of your detection system.
