Restaurants & Food

Have you been visited by a Fire Marshal and been told to install a device to monitor for CO2 safety? Need to meet NBIC, NFPA, IFC, or OSHA regulations?

Here's what you need to protect your employees, your business, and your customers.

If you have multiple CO2 areas - for those facilities who have multiple CO2 usage points, a robust system like the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fixed Gas Detector w/ Remote Sensor (0-5%) is ideal. If you also have areas such as keg coolers or are in a jurisdiction with more stringent requirements; the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fixed Gas Detector w/ Remote Sensor (0-5%) meets ALL state code requirements. 

If you need to meet fire codes - you'll need a CO2 storage monitor with audible and visual alarm and a relay to control a fan. Our Remote CO2 Storage Safety 3 Alarm with OSHA, TWA, and optional external strobe lights meet these codes. Regulations are different in every state, click here to learn more.

If you have employees who work in enclosed areas where carbon dioxide buildup may cause personal harm. Our PRO-10 Portable CO2 Safety Detector features both audible/visual alarms to indicate should a potential CO2 leak be present.

What is the OSHA Limit for CO2?

OSHA has established a Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for CO2 of 5,000 parts per million (ppm) (0.5% CO2 in air) averaged over an 8-hour work day (time-weighted average or TWA.) For more information on CO2 Safety in Restaurants, click here.

Below, we highlight the CO2 Safety Alarms that meet the OSHA requirements and comply with additional NFPA, IFC, and NBIC standards.
