As it’s still relatively early days as far as 2025 goes, your business may still be finding its feet in the new year, making plans and setting milestones, projecting forecasts or generally just refreshing things.

But as always, none of that truly matters if you haven’t sorted out the proper safety measures for your business. The start of the year is a great time to take stock of what safety measures you’ve got in place and ask yourself if you could be doing more.

For instance, if anything in your workplace has the potential to give off any form of gas, by-product or solvent that can cause harm, then you need to get yourself the correct gas monitoring equipment. A proper gas detection system is vital, even if you already have a portable gas detector, to ensure that your site is being monitored 24/7 and you’re getting accurate results on the toxicity of your work environment.

However, even if your gas detection system is already set up, there’s still work to be done.

Systems such as these need to be regularly surveyed and maintained to ensure that they’re working to their full potential at all times, so as to cut down the risk of system failures, accidents, injuries or site shutdowns.

Most sensors have a fixed shelf-life, and changing these at the correct intervals can massively reduce ongoing costs. This avoids unnecessary call outs during the year to get sensors replaced, and potentially even avoiding site shutdowns in the event of sensor failure. The only way to prevent this is regular servicing and calibration by manufacturer trained engineers, who can spot when sensors are due for replacement before they fail.
