Why is a gas measurement necessary?
Enclosed spaces on seagoing vessels pose a serious threat to the health of those entering due to a lack of oxygen, explosive atmospheres, or toxic fumes. Moreover, hot work creates even more risks. That is why most ports require a preliminary inspection by an accredited gas expert.
