Safety
Use an informed exposure picture to guide investigation, control priorities and the review of protective measures.
Technology
Bring connected measurement, task context and exposure analysis together in a defined monitoring approach.
In practice
What we consider
Define the exposure question
Identify the hazard, the people concerned, the tasks and the conditions to be assessed. Noise and hearing protection are a clear use case for connected monitoring.
Measure in context
Choose an appropriate measurement method and record the conditions that make the data meaningful: task, duration, location and controls in place.
Connect findings with controls
Review the evidence with the responsible professionals. Consider workplace controls and protective measures, then check the effect of the actions taken.
