“Intrinsic safety” refers to a design process applied to electrical, computing, and wiring devices used in a hazardous location with flammable, caustic, or explosive materials. While the chance of an explosion or fire can be mitigated through various physical deterrents and safety measures, the risks increase exponentially when electrical instruments are exposed to any of these combustible substances. Intrinsically safe hardware are made in such a way as to limit the amount of electrical and thermal output to prevent atmospheric ignition. Companies who work in enclosed spaces, harsh weather, or with materials that can easily injure staff, catch on fire, or detonate are often required to use intrinsically safe products- or not use anything at all.

The modern world demands efficiency. Utilizing tools that allow for automated data collection, entry, and storage as well as fast mobile communication can help your business stay competitive. However, employee safety must also be a top priority. Complying with federal mandates for secure and recorded data, worksites, and product shipping doesn’t have to be expensive or intimidating. Partner with the experienced consultants at Paragon to keep your company insulated from lawsuits, government fines, lost production time, and employee injuries.
