For industries relying on gas detection, ensuring every worker has a reliable device for every shift is a growing challenge. Traditional gas detectors often require manual maintenance, leading to downtime, increased costs, and potential safety risks. The ALTAIR io4 device revolutionizes this process, offering real-time monitoring, automatic updates, and seamless integration with safety programs.

A Smarter Approach to Gas Detection
The ALTAIR io4 helps support compliance while keeping teams connected through MSA Grid, allowing safety managers to track gas exposure trends and device performance remotely. This real-time visibility helps teams respond proactively, reducing risk while maintaining efficiency.
In environments with hazardous gases like hydrogen sulfide (H2S), accuracy is critical. The ALTAIR io4 detects and differentiates between low and high concentrations, providing timely, reliable alerts. This level of precision enhances worker protection without unnecessary disruptions.

One Detector Per Worker, Every Shift: A Common Challenge
Managing gas detectors for multiple shifts can be complex. With traditional systems, making sure every worker has a charged, functional device often leads to inefficiencies and lost time. The device simplifies this process:
- Shift 1: Workers tap their MSA ID Tag to activate their device and begin their shift.
- Shift 2: As Shift 1 workers return their detectors to the chargers, Shift 2 workers pick up fully charged devices and activate them with their own ID tags.
- Shift 3: The cycle continues, ensuring all shifts have ready-to-use devices without interruptions or delays.
With this automated approach, every manual process—from assigning detectors to tracking compliance—is streamlined, saving time and improving accuracy.
