Winery CO2 Safety

Some of our partners include:

Our CO2 safety monitors are designed to protect workers in wineries from exposure to high levels of carbon dioxide.

Because CO2 is heavier than air, it tends to sink to the bottom of the floor forming potentially hazardous gas that can displace oxygen (O2) for workers. For those working in wineries, the presence of CO2 is significant, especially during the fermentation process where carbon dioxide is generated.

Although many CO2 tanks are located indoors, carbon dioxide can escape and collect in enclosed indoor areas and pose a safety hazard for the establishment, workers, and customers without proper CO2 safety monitoring.

How dangerous is CO2 in a winery?

While there are many potential safety hazards when it comes to the winemaking business, one area to not overlook is the potential of overexposure to carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. Main hazard areas of a winery where CO2 levels can become dangerous include fermentation rooms, cellars, CO2 storage tanks, and beverage dispensing areas.

Benefits of Using CO2 Safety Monitors in Wineries

1. Gain adequate indication to ensure ventilation and fresh air during fermentation
2. Give your workers peace of mind and mitigate CO2 overexposure and injury
3. Monitor for elevated levels of CO2 concentrations before allowing customer entry
