Don’t worry, our technology hasn’t changed. The Smart Alert product you know, and trust, remains the same. What’s new is the name that represents it in the workplace safety world; one that better reflects our mission, our users, and the growing importance of real-time, personal hearing protection.
Digitalisation has changed the face of modern manufacturing and construction.
On the shopfloor, advances in robotics have resulted in more streamlined operations, while sensors and big data analytics are driving greater insight for predictive maintenance methodologies.
Noise monitoring in the workplace is essential. Regular exposure to occupational noise is proven to contribute to Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), which is an irreversible and debilitating condition.
Noise-induced hearing Loss (NIHL) is hearing loss caused by exposure to a harmful level of noise.
Globally, a staggering 1.1 billion people are estimated to have the condition, with 16% of disabling hearing loss worldwide being attributed to exposure to occupational noise
For decades, noise monitoring in the workplace has often been considered a tick-box exercise.
Many, if not most companies meet their regulatory requirements with regards to noise monitoring without additional consideration for whether their efforts actually protect workers from hearing loss or damage (and the reality is, they don’t.)
