When an emergency event takes place, early detection and responding quickly is critical to mitigating any facility, personnel injury and environmental impact. In this presentation we will learn about how implementing reliable flame and gas detection technologies can reduce response times to any fire or leak. Knowing the location of all plant personnel is also critical during an emergency. Location awareness solutions are available to improve mustering during emergency events using wireless location tracking. Pinpointing fallen personnel quickly reduces first responder response time while preventing sending safe people into harms way. Automatic safety shower and eyewash station monitoring reduce response times to activation.
