A lot of our business right now involves contractors doing confined space work for steel companies. They might calibrate their monitors once in a while, but they certainly don't do it every 30 days, bumping daily is out of the question, and the record keeping is a joke. THANK YOU for emphasizing the record keeping side of this, as it cannot be pushed enough. If you don't have records, you have a violation. James Hey Jim,
