Personal Gas Monitors - Safety and Protection
Portable personal gas monitors are wearable instruments used aboard ships, offshore vessels, and during ship repair to detect hazardous or oxygen-deficient atmospheres. They provide audible, visual, and vibrating alarms for gases such as oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and combustible gases.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Personal Gas Monitors for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Typical approvals include ATEX and IECEx intrinsic-safety certification, with applicable regional certifications such as UKCA, CSA, or UL depending on the exact configuration. Calibration and bump testing should follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable site procedures. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Marine or hazardous-area acceptance is model- and configuration-specific. Selected versions may have marine type approval or acceptance from DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or other authorities. Verify the certificate for the exact detector, sensor, battery, and intended vessel application. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Charge or install the approved battery, configure the required sensors, and perform a functional bump test before use. Clip the monitor in the breathing zone with sensor openings unobstructed. For enclosed-space work, test the atmosphere remotely before entry and continuously while occupied. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Perform routine bump tests and scheduled calibration using certified test gas. Keep sensor inlets clean and dry, inspect alarms and battery condition, and replace sensors, filters, or batteries according to manufacturer limits. Record tests and calibrations. |
| Safety Notes | Do not use a monitor that has failed a bump test, shows damage, or is outside its calibration interval. Never rely on the instrument alone; follow the vessel's enclosed-space entry permit and ventilation procedures. Use the correct sensor range and do not expose catalytic combustible sensors to contaminants that can cause false readings. |
