PROTECTOSCAN EDI IS CHANGING THE
WAY WE MONITOR WORKPLACE HAZARDS
THE major focus from the HSE on
employee health and safety is quite
rightly at the forefront of the
minds of many people in
our industry at this
moment in time.
Exposure to
environmental hazards
in the workplace has
been difficult to monitor,
but the ProtectoScan EDI
from Extractability will
change that.
Are you confident the
fume, dust or particle
extraction, installed in your
factory, is being used? The
ProtectoScan EDI is an indoor
Environmental Detection
Instrument (EDI) that measures
and records real-time data
and is capable of switching on your
equipment once a pre-set level has been
detected. EDI has an LED traffic light
display, alerting users to any notable
issues and providing an instant visual
representation of what is going on in
the workshop.
Fume and dust exposure is most
commonly accompanied by symptoms
such as muscle ache, nausea, and
fatigue. Illnesses caused by, and
associated with, exposure to fume and
gases can include, but are not limited to:
Pneumonia, occupational asthma and
even cancer.
Extraction then is essential in helping
employers remove hazards from the
workplace, stay within the regulations,
and improve industry and health among
the workforce, creating a safe and clean
workplace environment for everyone.
EDI will also measure noise,
temperature and humidity and is the
perfect solution for monitoring and
recording exposure levels, every second
of the day, 365 days a year.
