Industrial Safety Technologies

Industrial Safety Technologies (IST) was a hardware-focused industrial safety platform, founded in 2011 and built by Battery Ventures through acquisitions of gas-detection and hazard-monitoring businesses including Gas Measurement Instruments (GMI), Detcon, DSA Detection, and Simtronics. Its products centered on fixed and portable gas detectors, flame detectors, and hazardous-environment safety instrumentation for industrial sites. IST was acquired by Scott Safety, a Tyco business, from Battery Ventures for $329.5 million in December 2014 and no longer exists as an independent company; the enrichment pipeline found no public API, developer portal, OpenAPI, or documentation surface to profile.

Industrial Safety Technologies is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Industrial Safety, Gas Detection, Hardware, and Occupational Safety.
