GTC Industrial Equipment Maintenance

Safety in the workplace is a fundamental element in all industries, from manufacturing facilities to research laboratories and construction sites. Preventing accidents and occupational risks is a priority for employers and employees. Gas detectors and personal protective equipment (PPE) are highly effective devices to warn against these risks and guarantee optimum safety.

In terms of personnel safety, control, periodic inspection and maintenance of this protective equipment is very important. With a team of qualified technicians recognized by our partner manufacturers, GazDetect offers maintenance services and periodic checks on-site or in the workshop at our maintenance center near Paris.

Maintenance of gas detectors

Gas detectors play a vital role in monitoring work environments for the presence of hazardous gases. It helps alert workers to danger, whether toxic, flammable or asphyxiating gases, and ensures that safety measures can be taken quickly. However, these devices are only useful if they are working properly. gas detectors to ensure accuracy regular maintenance It is essential. Frequent calibration , visual inspection And crash test, gas detectors ensure reliability These are procedures that must be performed regularly for .

The first step in maintenance is a visual inspection of the gas detector. Check the general condition of the unit, the integrity of the case, the cleanliness of the screen and components, and the absence of any signs of damage or excessive wear.

Periodic calibration is also necessary. Gas detectors need to be calibrated regularly to ensure their sensitivity. Calibration frequency depends on the type of gas being monitored and the manufacturer's recommendations. Appropriate calibration gases should be used to ensure the device responds correctly to target gas levels. This includes zero setting (cell configuration) and sensitivity setting.
After each check, GazDetect will display a notification containing the date of the next scheduled calibration. Provides a dated calibration certificate.

Portable gas detectors must also undergo regular functional tests. These tests involve exposing the detector to a calibrated gas source to check if it responds correctly. This can be done using specific gas testing kits.

 

Category 3 PPE maintenance and repair

Class 3 (or category 3) PPE refers to personal protective equipment that protects against serious or fatal risks. Periodic inspection and maintenance of this type of protection is essential and mandatory in most industrialized countries. These include respiratory protective equipment, chemical protective clothing and fall protection.

GazDetect's intranet network

My GazDetect, GazDetect's intranet, It is a simple and innovative application that can be used from any computer, tablet or smartphone (IOS or Android) to manage and monitor the periodic checks and maintenance of your gas detectors and class 3 PPE, and it is completely free.

Once equipment is listed on our intranet, it can be “managed” via our My GazDetect app by anyone authorized to access our secure network.

Once you log in with your password, you can access your personalized area where you can:

  • Configure your personal area to change or add return notification emails for your devices
  • Send schedule return alerts or request on-site service (maintenance of your fixed installations) to alert your gas detectors before the deadline
  • Send schedule return alerts or request on-site service (maintenance of your fixed installations) to alert your gas detectors before the deadline
  • View or print your gas detector's calibration certificates (current and all previous certificates)

The simple and user-friendly interface uses a color system (green: device checked, orange: verification recommended/certificate will expire soon, and red: certificate expired) to show at a glance which devices need to be inspected.

Specific fields are available to assign equipment to a person or industry. This increases security because any extracted data can be tied to a sector or user.
