Applications of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in Restaurants & Bars

In the fast-paced world of restaurants and bars, creating a safe and efficient environment for both staff and guests is essential. As expectations for workplace safety and regulatory compliance continue to rise, businesses are adopting advanced technologies to ensure the wellbeing of their patrons and employees. Aerosphere CO2 monitoring systems play an essential role in beverage gas detection, maintaining a safe atmosphere while adhering to federal and state codes.
Why is CO2 Monitoring Essential for Restaurants & Bars?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an invisible, odorless gas used throughout the food and beverage industry, typically for carbonating draft beer and supplying carbonation for beverage dispensing systems. However, high concentrations of CO2 can be hazardous, with CO2 exposure posing significant risks. In poorly ventilated areas, excessive CO2 can displace oxygen, causing 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 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.
