Personal Dust Monitoring

A personal monitor with data analytics to control exposure to dust

Personal dust monitoring to put you in control

Dust is a microscopic, often invisible threat that’s found almost everywhere in a standard workplace or worksite. This makes monitoring and managing occupational dust particularly challenging.

In industries such as construction, workers are 100 times more likely to die from an occupational disease than a workplace accident. Prolonged exposure to harmful dust can result in employees developing debilitating conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and Silicosis in later life.

Given many respiratory hazards cannot be seen by the naked eye, how can you be sure you have effectively controlled the hazard? 

A personalised approach to dust monitoring and management is the most reliable and effective way to ensure that you are protecting your workers from the dangers posed by occupational dust.

We bring you the Trolex XD1+ as your connected personal dust monitor, supported by Reactec’s robust workplace wearable’s and cloud-based Analytics. We’re leveraging revolutionary real-time personal monitoring technology with automatic data collection and powerful data analytics to help you control exposure to harmful respirable dust like never before. 

The Trolex XD1+

In partnership with Reactec, the Trolex XD1+ is personalised dust monitoring technology that gives you an unprecedented level of insight to help control your workers’ exposure to dust.

The Trolex XD1+ powers better, more informed decision-making that supports worker safety and organisational health. Individual workers’ exposure data is stored and analysed in Reactec’s ultra-secure, powerful Analytics platform, which transforms information from the field into actionable intelligence that organisations can use to take unprecedented control of their workplace risk environment.

Our combined offering provides:

  • A seamless user experience: set up and adoption is fast and easy
  • A lightweight and easy to use: no filters, pumps, tubes, or replaceable parts
  • A compatible with R-Link: view dust exposure levels directly on your watch face
  • Access real-time exposure data at any moment: take fast, decisive action
  • 360-degree view of your risk environment: overlay exposure data from multiple sources, including vibration, noise, and dangerous proximity

Learn how British stone manufacturers, Burlington Stone, trialled the Trolex XD1+ to see how real-time personal dust monitoring could improve their safety processes.

Cloud-powered Analytics that bring your data to life

Reactec’s cloud-based analytics platform brings XD1+ exposure data to life by delivering real-time updates from individual workers to remote supervisors, and tracking respirable data to determine where the highest concentration of dust exists in your workplace.

  • Personalize dust monitoring against specific workers
  • Safe, secure storage and processing of personal risk data
  • Remove guesswork with accurate and real-time dust monitoring
  • Identify the source and location of exposure and prioritize high risk areas
  • Review tailored risk reports, add interventions, and assess control measures
  • Manage multiple health risks (vibration, noise, dangerous proximity) on a single platform

There are three dust monitoring options to consider using the Reactec RASOR device or R-Link watch. Review the infographic below to identify which connectivity options best suit your operational requirements:

Live Exposure Data with RASOR

There are two modes of working for the XD1+ with RASOR

One to One:
  • Assign a RASOR device to a worker and pair the device with the XD1+ to personalise all data collected
  • Personal dust monitoring data is enhanced by using RASOR’s GPS location information

If the worker is also wearing an R-Link watch during monitoring there will be a precise overlay of dust and vibration data, including where it took place in real-time.

One to Many:
  • The RASOR remains at a fixed location within a powered charger in ‘hub’ mode
  • A single RASOR device is used to allocate an unlimited number of XD1+ monitors to specific workers
  • The exposure dust data is transmitted to the Reactec Analytics at the end of the shift when the XD1+ has been deallocated or when the XD-One+ comes within 30m range of the RASOR

Dashboards designed for easy analysis 

An individual workers’ exposure to dust data is stored and analysed in Reactec’s Analytics platform, which transforms information from the field into actionable intelligence that’s easy to view and understand.
