Multi-Purpose Notification and Communications System Protects Workers and the Environment
When a large aerospace manufacturer acquired gas detectors to protect against hazardous leaks, it decided to leverage its Metis Secure Emergency Notification and Communications System. The company already relied on the multi-purpose Metis Secure system for overall plant emergency notification and two-way emergency communications, and knew the system was designed to easily integrate with other security and life safety systems.
Typical gas detectors are single-purpose devices that set off sirens, horns, and/or strobe lights in the immediate location of the event, if the volume of hazardous gas in the air rises to a certain level. For the manufacturer, this type of localized notification posed an unacceptable risk to the people working at the 250,000 square foot facility. The company needed a way to alert everyone in the plant, and make sure they quickly evacuated in a gas leak emergency.
