A personalized approach to occupational noise monitoring
Noise-induced hearing loss is completely preventable, yet 1 in 4 workers across the US suffer from hearing difficulties caused by exposure to dangerous levels of occupational noise.
Traditional approaches to noise monitoring and management - such as noise risk assessments - fall short of well and truly protecting workers, because they cannot reliably determine the amount of noise to which an individual worker is exposed to on a daily basis.
In dynamic work environments, many factors contribute to the type and level of noise that an employee may be exposed to.
Plus, in the US, 53% of workers report not wearing hearing protection.
This means that employers cannot rely upon PPE or noise risk assessments alone to protect workers.
SmartAlert by Minuendo
In partnership with Reactec, Smart Alert is revolutionary technology that alerts workers, in real-time, to unsafe conditions. Smart Alert not only provides hearing protection, it alerts workers when that protection isn’t good enough. This makes it possible for workers to know exactly when they need additional protection, and helps to ensure that their hearing protection is fitted properly. For employers, Smart Alert makes it easy to identify when workers are not wearing their hearing protection properly, or when they’re not wearing it at all.
Powered by Reactec’s industry-leading Analytics platform, Smart Alert enables teams to better understand their risk environment by providing them with drilled-down insights and actionable guidance on exposure.
- Real-time alerts notify workers when their hearing protection is inadequate
- Monitors exposure to noise from inside the ear for the most accurate exposure data
- Hear-through technology combats over-protection and ensures situational awareness
- Real-time alerts notify workers when they are approaching or exceeding exposure limits
- Can be worn underneath additional hearing protection - such as ear muffs - if necessary
