Engineers at Yorkshire Water will be kept safe from the risk of environmental gas exposure after the company spent £1.1million on new products.
The water company has secured a deal with Blackline Safety to deliver it’s G7c detectors with integrated 3G wireless.
The kit is designed to protect the workforce from the risk of environmental gas exposure to flammable, toxic and asphyxiating gases while delivering water services to over five million homes and a quarter of a million businesses in the region.
Helen Keeling, Health and Safety Manager at Yorkshire Water added;“The Blackline G7c will replace our current fleet of monitors, and we are looking forward to the benefits and safety enhancements these new devices will bring as we develop a better understanding of our H2S issues.”
“From our market research, Blackline are real industry leaders and have completely redesigned the way we think about gas monitoring."
The devices are being rolled out from this month.
