Event Description
- Full Description:
- Join the Health, Safety and Wellness Division for this Safe Work Month event.
Why do we measure O2 and toxic gases in workplaces? Many of us invest significant time and money installing and maintaining a network of gas alarms. In the last 12 months a few UQSafe incidents have been recorded relating to gas alarms. This talk draws on lessons learnt by CSIRO when a research scientist died from asphyxiation Geelong in 2001. Mechanical / natural ventilation, location of sensors / displays, regular calibration and training are all discussed.
Presenter: Brian Logan, HSW Advisor (Occupational Hygiene)
