Why is CO2 Monitoring Essential for Restaurants and Bars?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an odorless, colorless gas that is typically used in restaurants and bars for carbonation and to maintain the quality of beverages. However, high concentrations of CO2 can be hazardous, with CO2 exposure posing significant risks. In poorly ventilated areas, excessive CO2 can displace oxygen, causing warning signs like dizziness, shortness of breath, and, in severe cases, leading to suffocation due to asphyxiation. This is why monitoring for potential CO2 leaks is essential.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established CO2 exposure limits to protect workers. The time-weighted average (TWA) exposure limit is set at 5,000 parts per million (ppm) over an 8-hour workday. Exceeding these levels without proper CO2 alarms can be life-threatening, making CO2 monitoring a crucial part of your safety measures.
Implementing CO2 monitoring systems is vital in keeping these levels in check. By providing real-time monitoring, restaurants and bars can ensure the air quality remains safe for staff and guests, preventing dangerous situations before they arise.
