Why use gas detection technology?
In South African mining activities, hazardous gases like methane (CH₄), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) endanger mining personnel. The Mine Health and Safety Act (MHSA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) help ensure the well-being of workers. They include laws mandating the use of gas detection systems, adequate ventilation, regular risk assessments, and the development of codes of practice.
Mines must continuously monitor gas levels, train workers on gas hazards, and implement emergency response plans to comply with these regulations and maintain a safe working environment. Schauenburg Systems specialises in providing open-cast and underground mining operations with equipment to ensure accurate gas leak detection. Our gas detection services ensure you comply with the law and keep your workforce safe!

Frequently asked questions
What is a gas detector?
A gas detector is a device used to detect the presence of dangerous gases in a specified area of a mine. Gas monitors are often part of a safety system. Gas detectors can be used to identify various types of gases, which can be hazardous to health or safety, or indicate leakages.
How is gas sensing equipment triggered?
When flammable gases flow between the sender and the receiver, it alters the characteristics of the light. This alteration is detected by the receiver, resulting in an alarm being activated.
What are the different types of gas monitors used in mining?
Industrial gas monitors such as portable gas detectors and fixed gas detectors are used in mining. Portable gas monitors are handheld devices used to check certain areas while fixed gas detectors are installed at key locations on a mine site to continuously monitor gas levels.
What types of gases are commonly monitored in mines?
Gases monitored in mines include methane, carbon monoxide, oxygen and hydrogen sulfide.
How often should gas detection equipment be calibrated and maintained?
The recommended frequency of monitoring gas is monthly. Schauenburg Systems offers regular monitoring of equipment and gas levels in mines as a part of its service offering.
