Frequently Asked Questions About MSA Connected Gas Detection
A connected gas detector is a portable device that monitors specific gases in the workplace and transmits data to a remote monitoring platform. MSA ALTAIR io™ 4 and ALTAIR io™ 6 gas detectors use built-in LTE cellular connectivity, allowing safety managers to access device information and monitor worksite conditions in real time when network connectivity is available.
The MSA Connected Work Platform combines ALTAIR io™ wearable gas detectors, LTE cellular connectivity, and MSA Grid software. Connected devices transmit gas detection data to a centralized platform, allowing safety managers to remotely monitor equipment, review detection information, and manage their gas detector fleet.
Connected gas detection improves visibility into workplace conditions and simplifies safety equipment management. It allows safety teams to remotely access gas detector data, monitor deployed devices, and streamline certain maintenance and compliance-related activities. Depending on the activated features and services, connected gas detection can also support lone worker monitoring.
A traditional gas detector primarily alerts the worker carrying the device when a hazardous gas condition is detected. A connected gas detector, such as the MSA ALTAIR io™ 4 or io™ 6, also transmits information remotely through cellular connectivity. This allows safety managers to access device data and monitor conditions without being physically present at the worksite.
Yes. SPI Health and Safety offers a fully managed, long-term rental program for MSA ALTAIR io™ 4 and ALTAIR io™ 6 connected gas detectors in Canada. The program includes Bronze, Silver, and Gold service plans, providing different levels of connectivity, equipment management, maintenance, and technical support to meet business needs.
MSA gas detectors must be maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions by personnel with the appropriate training and qualifications for the work involved.
