4 gas meter false positves training

2 posts in this topic

Hey everyone.

In the up coming months I will be doing a scenerio based drill with my department. The drill would be a report of a hydrogen sulfide leak inside a bussiness. My question is, is there a way to get a false positive on my sirius gas meter without accutal killing myself lol. I called MSA they did not know of any (like the meter is perfect). If anyone know of anything please let me know. Also if anyone has any other false positives for LEL,CO,O2 or VOC please let me know. Thanks

While its not a "false positive" I used bump/cal gas to give actual readings. I.e. in confined spaces when a prob is dropped down an instructor can use a small HD plastic bag with gas (and I've bought single cal gasses so you only get 1 hit on the meter) when the prob is dropped, the instructor can slip the prob into the bag. For hazmat trainiing we have done the same with a series of small boxes with gas in them (we tape them tight, pop a 1/4" hole in it and use a tape flap) then have the student try to figure out whats in the box or which box has the material we are looking for.
