When a chemical threat occurs, immediate detection is critical. The SafeAir system provides
immediate and intuitive confirmation of specific chemical hazards. SafeAir Chemical detection
badges can be used to detect many different toxic industrial chemicals.
The SafeAir badge is highly sensitive and the sensor is designed to display uniform and stable color
changes, which are displayed as exclamation marks when specific chemicals are present.
No calibration or laboratory analysis is required, the test results are immediately available,
easy to use, and inexpensive.
In most cases, SafeAir badges can use a color comparator to determine the dose of a toxic
chemical. SafeAir designed special colored charts with slots for badges. After the badge is
inserted, the user can turn the wheel to match the color to determine the amount of leakage.
The exposure dose is indicated in the exposure dose window.

How to use it?
Phosgene is used in industry as a precursor chemical for many everyday products. The most
common use of phosgene is to make isocyanates, which in turn are used to make polyurethane
foams for furniture, automobiles and other products. Phosgene is also a precursor of various
plastics and drugs.
What are the health effects of phosgene?
Phosgene is very toxic. Phosgene was used as a chemical warfare agent in World War I.
Due to its high toxicity, most phosgene is converted to another chemical, for example
isocyanate, at the same site where it is produced. As a result, only a small amount of phosgene
is usually transported. Exposure of workers to phosgene is dangerous and must be closely
monitored with phosgene detectors. Inhalation of phosgene may cause asphyxia, cough,
painful breathing, pneumonia or severe pulmonary edema (abnormal accumulation of
fluid in the lungs). Appropriate engineering procedures, protective equipment and phosgene
detection capabilities should be in place wherever phosgene may be present.
How is industry related to phosgene safety?
Industry has placed great emphasis on the safe use of phosgene through organizations such
as the International Isocyanate Institute (III) and the Phosgene Panel of the American
Chemistry Council. Phosgene manufacturers promote safety in phosgene production and
isocyanate production by sharing safety and health information. Effective phosgene detection
is the cornerstone of phosgene safety. Most phosgene manufacturers have implemented
"global best practices" and all workers in phosgene facilities should wear phosgene badges.
Most phosgene producing facilities worldwide use large phosgene detectors for wide-area
monitoring and phosgene indicator markers for individual monitoring.
What is the role of phosgene detection badges?
Morphix is the world leader in phosgene detection badges, also known as phosgene indicating
badges or phosgene monitoring badges. We have a close relationship with the phosgene industry
and work closely with them to provide phosgene indicative badges that best match the needs of
the industry. Phosgene manufacturers around the world use SafeAir phosgene badges for
workers in their phosgene production facilities. Morphix produces SafeAir phosgene badges in
multiple languages to meet global demand.
The worker wears a SafeAir phosgene badge (e.g., clamped on a shirt collar) in his/her breathing
zone to monitor phosgene. Badges can also be used to monitor phosgene leaks by hanging them
near suspicious areas. The color change on the indicator badge, in the shape of an exclamation
mark, alerts the user to photogace exposure. Morphix also offers a SafeAir phosgene comparator
that reads exposure dose levels by matching the color on the phosgene badge to the color in the
phosgene comparator. Morphix offers a variety of SafeAir phosgene detection badges
to meet the various needs of the industry, as described in the table. Click the badge name in the
table to open the instructions for that badge.
With SafeAir phosgene badges, phosgene detection has never been easier.
Application areas:
In manufacturing and industrial environments, real-time detection of chemical threats and levels is
the cornerstone of a safe working environment and sustained uptime. In fact, chemical testing
badges are sometimes mandatory in order to meet industry best practices, OSHA regulations,
or labor agreements.
With its simple design, the SafeAir badge is an everyday tool in many industrial environments.
With easy-to-read color change indicators, even the busiest employees can regularly check
whether the air they breathe is safe. No fluid, calibration, laboratory analysis or power supply is
required, and the clip allows the monitor pointer to be free. SafeAir badges can detect a variety
of chemicals and are used in many applications. Here are some examples.
Chemical plants: Even chemical plants with best safety practices sometimes experience leaks.
SafeAir provides real-time information to ensure employee safety.
Food facilities: Chemicals, such as chlorine, are used to keep food facilities clean and safe,
but high levels can be dangerous to workers. SafeAir badges are used to test potential employees
for exposure to toxic chemicals.
Oil: Drilling and processing oil may be unpredictable and employees may be exposed to chemicals
such as mercury or sulfur dioxide. SafeAir provides an affordable and easy way to detect when
unwanted chemicals are present.
Health care: Chemicals are used to keep health care facilities clean and disinfect medical
equipment. SafeAir provides a simple tool to ensure that workers using chemicals are not
exposed to dangerous levels.
Mining: Many different chemicals ranging from cyanide to isocyanates are used in mining
operations. SafeAir badges let workers know if there are toxic chemicals in the air.
