Explosion-Proof Cameras to Meet the Needs of Hazardous Operations

When it comes to extremely hazardous operations, proper monitoring can save company assets and even the lives of workers. That means having the right equipment to keep an eye on employee practices at all times. Let’s consider the value and applications of explosion-proof cameras.

Why Your Hazardous Operations Needs Explosion-Proof CCTVs

When dealing with hazardous materials, being able to observe what is going on can make the difference between a normal, productive business day and a disaster that takes lives, costs millions (maybe hundreds of millions), and places a company with an otherwise good reputation on the evening news for all the wrong reasons. Here are 4 reasons your company should be thinking about explosion-proof cameras:

• Accident Prevention – The best way to deal with a disaster is to make sure one never happens. CCTVs allow for increased safety as employee practices can be observed in real time. Video analytics can prompt viewing of the live feed when certain dangerous actions are observed by the cameras, or a supervisor/safety expert can watch the live feed at all times if necessary.
• Security – In a world filled with terrorism and other violent crimes, companies that deal with hazardous materials need to be on guard against sabotage. Monitored video can help catch a villain in the act and avert a catastrophe should other security measures fail to keep the unsavory individual out of sensitive areas.
• Remote Accessibly – Video feed can be viewed from anywhere, both live or recorded. This means you don’t have to have a safety person on site watching the cameras at all times. In an emergency situation, an experienced personnel member who isn’t onsite can be called in to consult and help save the day, as HD cameras provide a crystal-clear view of what is going on.
• Video Playback – In the worst-case scenario, the explosion-proof camera helps footage of the disaster to survive. This may provide an explanation as to what went wrong, offer a basis for future safety measures to prevent a repeat occurrence, or may even provide a narrative that absolves your company of fault if an accident is deemed unavoidable.  

Circumstances that Call for Explosion-Proof Cameras

Any operation that involves highly dangerous materials can benefit from explosion-proof CCTVs. For example, if your company deals in the transport of LNG (liquefied natural gas), then you realize that catching an unsafe practice on camera and reporting it immediately can mean life or death for everyone aboard the transport ship.

Other viable applications for this technology would include:

• Oil or Gas platforms, drilling rigs, or tankers
• Refineries
• Pipelines
• Military installations
• Chemical or pharmaceutical plants
• Hazardous industrial manufacturing environments
