<p>A device (10) for preventing the opening of a door (52) into an enclosed space (50) if the atmosphere in the space is hazardous. A sensor or sensors (31) monitor the atmosphere in the space and provide a controller (32) with a signal proportional to atmospheric conditions. If the controller determines that a hazardous condition exists, it produces a signal that actuates a lock that prevents the door from being opened. In a preferred embodiment, the device prevents the opening of a door of a transport container if the proportion of oxygen in the atmosphere of the interior of the container is less than a predetermined value. <IMAGE></p> |
