Smart Safety – digital clearance measurement
—Clearance measurement of confined spaces has always been a highly responsible task. On-site workers have to be protected from the threat of an explosion, toxic hazards and lack of oxygen. Classic, manual clearance measurement presents a bottleneck for business and entails risks. Smart Safety solutions for maintenance tasks, including digital clearance measurement, help minimise downtime and errors. Information exchange and data transfer in real time over a cloud connection helps promote safety and cost-effective, efficient permit-to-work processes.
Scenario 1: Shutdown management
Facilities requiring maintenance, testing or repair must be shut down for these purposes. Gas detection must be carried out prior to these tasks without complication or human error. Delays present a high cost, but worker safety is top priority.
Scenario 2: Daily measurements
For minor maintenance works status checks must be frequently performed to ensure a work atmosphere remains under value thresholds for hazardous substances. They monitor performance and indicate potential hazardous gas leaks. Data acquisition and transfer must therefore be reliable, fast and efficient.
Clearance measurement of hazardous workplaces – a job for experts
Prior to entry into potentially hazardous work environments standard safety precautions like clearance measurements must be followed. The atmosphere must be measured and monitored for hazardous substances with a dedicated gas detector. Comprehensive knowledge and practical skills are necessary to ensure safety for workers – therefore some important questions should be answered.

CSE Permit-to-work form
Cloud services for easier permit-to-work processes
—Clearance measurement is a laborious and time-intensive process. Digitalisation and cloud-connected services can speed up and streamline the permit-to-work process. This is a welcome milestone for gas analysts, safety managers and shift supervisors alike. Smart Safety solutions provide real-time data and communication for efficient decision-making, so contractors can proceed with their work without delay. Thanks to digital data transfer, the clearance measurement process is improving for all involved in working in confined spaces.
Preparation
After a measurement order was instructed in an ePTW (electronic permit-to-work) system the safety engineer automatically creates the measurement order in the web application and sends it via Cloud to the gas analyst.
Clearance Measurement
The gas analyst measures the gas concentrations with a gas detection device and sends the values via smartphone to the web application. Workers are ready to start.
Confined Space Entry
After a successful clearance and granting of the permit-to-work, again via the web application, work in the confined space can start immediately.

Our Smart Safety solution, CSE Connect, helps you improve frontline operational safety and efficiency. We operate with a standardized Application Programming Interface (API) for easy data exchange between CSE Connect and your own software solution, such as electronic permit-to-work systems (ePTW). This can further enhance and optimise your approval process.
Dräger X-am® 8000
Säiliömittaus ei koskaan ole ollut näin helppoa ja kätevää: 1–7 kaasun mittari tunnistaa myrkylliset ja syttyvät kaasut ja höyryt sekä hapen, kaikki kerralla – sekä pumppu- että diffuusiokäytössä. Innovatiivinen merkinantojärjestelmä ja kätevät aputoiminnot varmistavat kokonaisvaltaisen turvallisuuden koko prosessin ajan.
Dräger X-pid® 9000/9500
Selektiivinen PID -kaasumittari sopii käyttäjille, jotka testaavat usein vaarallisia myrkyllisiä aineita. Bentseeni, butadieeni ja muut haihtuvat orgaaniset yhdisteet (VOC-yhdisteet) ovat syöpää aiheuttavia pieninäkin pitoisuuksina. Selektiivinen mittaus on tarpeen, koska usein mukana on myös muita kaasuja ja höyryjä. Kaasumittari mahdollistaa lyh…
