Gases accumulate more quickly in enclosed spaces on seagoing vessels. This poses risks for your employees who perform cleaning operations, inspections, or repairs. Have this checked by a certified gas expert from Arizo. Experience the expertise of Belgium’s largest team of accredited gas experts.
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.
