Explosive Gas Monitoring Services

[StevenT]

I'm doing some work at a sewerage treatment plant and due to the buildup of methane gas, certain areas are deemed "explosion proof".

In order to complete the work, I need a "gas monitor" to be present. This is basically a "baby sitter" certified in the use of explosive gas monitoring equiptment.

I have looked on-line, under gas monitoring services, IAQ, in the blue book and today I will search companies that manufacture the equiptment in hopes they can help.

Any other suggerstions as to where else I can look. I will also try JLC.

I realize that this doesn't fall into the realm of Home Inspecting, but there is alot of experience floating around here and any help would be appreciated.

Steven, I believe each state's occupational safety has their own protocols. I know michigan does because of oil and gas production facilities.

My strong recommendation would be to call those that know - my go to source has always been Jeff at Tool Experts in Tennessee. Good guy and knowledgeable. Go to their web-site and don't be afraid to mention my name. Might get you a better price!

Hi Les,

Thanks for the tip. I keyed in toolexperts.com and tool expertstennesse, either case I can't locate their website. Any suggestions? If they can't help me, they may be able to turn me on to someone that may.

I would also call the folks that you are doing the work for. They will know what is needed. They most likely have an OSHA requirement.
