Industrial Scientific now offers the Ventis^™ LS multi-gas detector as part of the Accenture Life Safety Solution. According to the company, key characteristics of the detector include:

Using Wi-Fi and location-based technologies to remotely monitor those working in potentially hazardous environments, this wireless solution helps keep people safer.
The Accenture Life Safety Solution leverages the expertise of Industrial Scientific, as well as their unique Gas Detection as a Service solution known as iNet®.
The solution is designed to continuously monitor employees working in plant environments across oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, metals, mining, forest products and utilities.
The Ventis LS has the ability to detect one to four gases, including H2S, O2, LEL, CO, SO2 and NO2.
In potentially hazardous conditions, the instrument alerts users through audible, visual and vibrating alarms.
The instrument’s gas level information is then transmitted over Cisco’s Unified Wireless Network using the gas detector’s integrated Wi-Fi Tag from AeroScout; the gas detection information is then sent to a control room, where an operator can react to the data.
Because of the gas detector’s wireless technology, the operator can quickly locate the employee in danger, and organize rescue operations — a separate alert would be sent to the control room if lack of motion is detected or if the individual activates the detector’s panic button.
Operators can go outside of the plant with the same functionality using a combination of Wi-Fi and cellular communications
