> What is a gas?

Invisible and colourless, sometimes even odourless, a gas is extremely dangerous! Gases, combined with other elements such as heat or a confined space, present a number of risks that it is important to understand.

There are three categories of gas-related risks:

•     risks of fire and/or explosion linked to flammable gases
•     the risk of poisoning from toxic gases
•     risks of suffocation or asphyxiation

Thanks to our solutions against gas risks, you can set up collective or individual protection with different types of equipment:

•     fixed or portable gas detection
•     fall protection or respiratory protection
