The Top Hazards During a Turnaround and How to Increase Safety

  1. Confined Spaces: The Silent Danger

Confined spaces, such as tanks, vessels, and storage bins, pose a significant risk during turnarounds. Limited entry and exit points, coupled with potentially hazardous atmospheres, make confined spaces a silent danger.

To mitigate this hazard, the adoption of digital confined space monitoring solutions is crucial. Real-time camera monitoring, remote gas detection, two-way communication systems, and access control units streamline safety protocols, providing continuous insights and early hazard detection.

How VISICS prevented potential fire at refinery

Customer Success Story

Wesseling, November 2019 – Last October the digital VISICS system for safe and efficient turnarounds was installed at a refinery in Wesseling. Combined with Dräger’s solutions for remote gas detection, the VISICS system was brought in to accomplish a safer and more efficient turnaround by digitally monitoring the confined spaces. No more than three days later, on October 31st 2019, the VISICS system proved its added value by preventing a potential fire.
