What should operators do if an air monitoring device indicates unsafe conditions?

When an air monitoring device indicates unsafe conditions, the appropriate response is to shut down operations and evacuate the space. This is essential for ensuring the safety of all personnel in the area. Air monitoring devices are specifically designed to detect hazardous conditions such as poor air quality, toxic gases, or low oxygen levels. Ignoring the alerts or continuing to work can put individuals at serious risk of health issues or accidents due to these dangers.

Evacuating the space allows for a thorough assessment of the situation by safety personnel and helps to prevent potential harm. Safety protocols emphasize the importance of taking immediate action in response to warnings from monitoring devices to protect workers' health and safety. Recorded data from the device can be used for later analysis, but it should not take precedence over the immediate safety of the workers.
