Wireless Sensors Improve Toxic Gas Mitigation in P&P Mills, Paper360º May/June 2020

There is a long-standing idea that the greatest threats to people are the hazards they deal with on a routine basis. Interaction becomes automatic, causing an individual to forget the nature of the hazard, and carelessness results, eventually leading to an accident.

Personnel safety in a potentially danger-ous plant environment depends on effective training, personal vigilance, and situational awareness combined with appropriate safety equipment and strategies. This concept is easy to visualize in an oil refinery or large chemical plant because the hazards associated with toxic or flammable products in vast amounts can lead to catastrophic incidents. One might think that paper mills are inherently safer environments, but even the most vigilant workers can be caught unaware, falling victim to an equipment failure, process upset, or another unforeseen situation.
