Confined space entry is one of the most dangerous jobs that takes place during any turnaround or shutdown. Using a confined space monitoring system can help keep personnel safe while working inside confined spaces without delaying projects and increasing costs, which is one of the most challenging tasks during turnarounds.
The confined space monitoring system TeQ Shield™ Guardian combines gas detection, video cameras, two-way communication and access control to create an effective solution for confined space monitoring, which improves safety while reducing costs.
From the command center, our confined space operators monitor up to 24 cameras that provide constant visuals of entrance and interior of confined spaces. Contractors, turnaround managers or safety personnel can review the log of events at the onsite command center.

Flexible, versatile, centralized. Confined space monitoring just got more efficient
With a proven record in turnarounds and shutdowns worldwide, our confined space monitoring system, TeQ Shield™ Guardian, helps you unify and centralize safety operations. It delivers continuous awareness of all confined space activities, helping to mitigate risks and improve decision-making.
The system links with area monitoring (PTZ), vehicle gates, and entry points such as turnstiles to ensure efficient access control. It monitors workers across large areas of over 5 kilometers, ensuring that everyone is clearly accounted for. It also logs and synchronizes data with video so that owners can review incidents.
As a result, the system significantly reduces costs, lowers liability, and simplifies site management by reducing the number of personnel required on site. In addition, it offers a flexible design that scales to meet site-specific requirements.

Key components of Remote Confined Space Monitoring System
Allows authorized individuals to gain access to a confined space with their site badge. When the badge is scanned a clear red/green light notifies the worker if access has been granted. The access control component allows for both an accurate count of who is present in the space, and also doubles as an emergency lighting and evacuation system.
