Canaries Check Unsafe Conditions
For 20 years, canaries have tested enclosed vessels and tanks for oxygen supply and harmful vapors. The four canaries kept at the Synthetic plant have been used by the tank cleaners to assure that a sufficient oxygen supply is in the tanks and that no explosive mixtures exist before they clean them.
Today, the fire inspectors use an oxygen meter and vapor meter to check unsafe conditions, but the canaries are still kept as an extra safety precaution.
