Gas Detection

Industrial gas detection is critical for identifying and monitoring hazardous gases in the workplace. Undetected gases can pose serious health and safety risks, threaten operations and cause non-compliance with regulatory standards.

At Mercer Safety, we provide expert gas detection services to help employers maintain safe, compliant and efficient work environments.

Our team uses industry-approved instruments to detect and monitor gases in a wide range of industrial settings, from confined spaces and manufacturing facilities to construction sites and processing plants.

We test for:

  • Toxic gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) and ammonia (NH₃)

  • Combustible gases such as methane (CH₄) and propane (C₃H₈)

  • Oxygen levels to identify potential oxygen deficiency or enrichment

Regular gas detection protects workers from exposure to toxic, flammable or asphyxiating gases, ensures compliance with provincial OH&S regulations and helps maintain proper process control.

Whether you require ongoing monitoring, calibration or a one-time site assessment, Mercer Safety can help you establish reliable detection practices that safeguard both people and property.
