Depot Checking, Bump Testing & Calibration Nowadays, portable gas detection instruments are an integral part of safety programmes in industry, supply and disposal companies, telecommunications and during the transport of hazardous goods (e.g. in the shipping industry). It makes no difference how the instruments are used – whether for all-clear measurements before personnel enter confined spaces, as a personal measurement instrument, to detect leaks or for area monitoring, a reliable warning must be given of any potential hazard, as lives may well be at stake! Any reputable manufacturer of portable gas detection instruments, and of course all the world's leading occupational safety and health organizations, are fully aware of their responsibility in this context, and insist on all detection instruments being subjected to a function check before they are deployed in safety-relevant applications. What is more, when it comes to performing maintenance of the detection equipment, manufacturers recommend very different adjustment intervals for the sensors to ensure safe operation of the instruments. In addition, an annual inspection of all the detection instruments is generally required. Unfortunately, there is still a fundamental lack of understanding in some areas of the need for maintenance, and especially of the need for function checks prior to safety relevant applications.
