Simply put, diesel or gas engines can be an ignition source when operated in hydrocarbon areas of your plant. The damage it can inflict to your worksite can be distressing for all, especially when it puts the health and safety of your employees at risk. It can cause massive safety issues, lead to downtime at your facility, impact operations and ultimately, your revenue stream.
Think of the plant vehicle as an essential safety component of your worksite. The plant vehicle can be monitoring for any potential hazardous atmosphere that can lead to an incident occurring.
How do you make your plant vehicle this beacon of safety? By installing the Headwind Solutions ShockerEDGE. This innovative device will keep your employees and your operations safe with advanced gas detection and engine shutoff systems for any diesel or gas engine.
There are many reasons your worksite should consider the ShockerEDGE for your plant vehicle:
What is the ShockerEDGE?
The ShockerEDGE is a one-of-a-kind ambient air gas detection unit that can easily be installed in any internal combustion engine. The ShockerEDGE is designed to be instantaneous when action is required when detecting airborne hydrocarbons in ambient air settings. The ShockerEDGE puts safety ahead of everything else, and helps ensure your worksite is kept secured, your assets protected and your employees are safe.
Why Does Your Plant Vehicle Need the ShockerEDGE?
The ShockerEDGE is an essential tool for all fleet vehicles operating in facilities where combustible gasses can be extremely dangerous if ignited. The unique features of the ShockerEDGE allows itself to be digitally calibrated every two seconds, taking into account temperature, pressure and humidity at the same time, providing reliable data and reporting as the vehicle moves to different atmospheres at the worksite.
With seamless connection to your unit’s battery, there is no docking station required, meaning your unit is always monitoring the atmosphere around your vehicle. The unit displays the percentage of hazardous gas in the atmosphere surrounding your engine that can pose a potential danger, ensuring your safety is top of mind, along with the safety of your employees.
What Are the Benefits of the ShockerEDGE?
The ShockerEDGE has many important features that can provide your plant vehicle with safe and proactive detection. The ShockerEDGE provides a reliable, accurate method of detecting potential hazardous gasses as your vehicle moves between different atmospheres.
The moment the unit detects a potential hazardous atmosphere that can cause an incident, it immediately alerts and shuts off your engine at a preset LEL to prevent a catastrophic event.
This ensures not only your safety, but the safety of the employees active on your worksite.
Being exposed to flammable and toxic gasses is incredibly dangerous for the health and safety of your employees. As your worksite may require movement from location to location, the plant vehicle can be a barometer for potentially dangerous situations.
This early detection not only keeps employees onsite at your facility safe, but it can also keep your facilities safe. The earlier a gas is detected in the atmosphere, the better your chances are of stopping it at the source before it becomes an incident.
