Both play important roles. Fixed detectors provide 24/7 monitoring in high-risk areas like compressor rooms, CO2 storage, and confined spaces, they catch leaks even when workers aren’t present. Portable monitors protect individual workers who move through different zones or enter confined spaces. For proper protection and compliance, most facilities need both. We’ll recommend the right combination based on your facility layout and hazards.

Most gas detectors require annual calibration to maintain accuracy and meet OHS Act requirements. High-use or critical safety equipment may need calibration every 6 months. Our maintenance programs handle this automatically. We schedule visits, perform calibration, provide certification documentation, and replace sensors as needed. You stay compliant without having to track schedules or manage it yourself.

Ammonia is toxic at very low concentrations. Without detection, workers may not realise exposure until symptoms appear and by then, serious injury has already occurred. Concentrations above 300 PPM can be fatal within minutes and above 15% Vol are explosive. Beyond worker safety, undetected leaks lead to production shutdowns, regulatory investigations, insurance complications, and potential criminal liability. Detection systems provide early warning that saves lives and prevents catastrophic incidents.

We service and calibrate all MSA gas detection equipment. If you have existing systems that need maintenance, calibration, or repair, we can help. We also conduct assessments to identify gaps in your current protection and recommend upgrades where needed.

Yes, absolutely. Every installation includes on-site training for your team on proper equipment use, alarm response, emergency procedures, and basic troubleshooting. We also offer refresher training and advanced courses for safety officers. Proper training is critical because equipment only protects workers if they know how to use it correctly.

We have a network of qualified technicians throughout South Africa (Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, and beyond) and SADC countries including Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and more. For installations, calibration, and emergency support, we’ll get to your facility wherever you are.

Yes. All MSA equipment comes with manufacturer warranties. We also offer extended warranty options and maintenance contracts that include parts coverage. If equipment fails within warranty, we handle replacement or repair at no additional cost.
