The company implemented the use of full-face respirators and a three-pronged method for monitoring hydrogen sulfide (H2S) levels: handheld monitors, collar- mounted detectors and the use of scavenger chemicals for preventing H2S emissions. CIRCON has also added a new software system that tracks incidents to aid in the investigation, correction and prevention of on-site safety issues.
"Our tagline is 'A Better Way,' and that permeates throughout the whole company, including safety," said Joel Hartley, environmental health and safety manager at CIRCON. "It's a cornerstone."
