Understanding the Risks and Implementing Effective Controls

Aerosol and Dust Exposure

Aerosol and dust exposure pose significant risks to human health and the environment. Particulate matter like dust, smoke, mist, and fumes can cause respiratory issues, cardiovascular problems, and cancer. TSI's advanced monitoring solutions provide real-time data on worker exposure to hazardous elements, ensuring immediate insights to help enhance safety and reduce company risk.

Data-Driven Decision-Making for Improved Safety Protocols

Real-time aerosol and dust exposure monitoring provides critical data for informed decision-making for worker safety. With accurate, up-to-date information on airborne contaminants, managers can implement proactive safety protocols and risk mitigation strategies. This data-driven approach enhances worker safety, reduces company risk, and promotes continuous improvement in occupational health and safety practices.

Adherence to Regulatory Standards

Regulatory standards, such as those set by OSHA or HSE, continually evolve to address emerging worker health risks. TSI's exposure monitoring equipment helps organizations navigate with these regulations, maintaining continuous compliance. By utilizing TSI's solutions, you can navigate regulatory hurdles more effectively, thereby safeguarding worker health and minimizing legal liabilities.

Versatile Monitoring Solutions for Various Environments

TSI provides a range of monitoring solutions designed with your needs in mind, whether for indoor, outdoor, or personal use. Our products deliver real-time mass concentration readings for aerosol contaminants like dust, smoke, fumes, and mist. Additionally, we offer lightweight, versatile solutions for measuring worker exposure to respirable dust, silica, and diesel particulate matter directly within the breathing zone.

Advanced Ambient Work Area Monitoring Solutions

The DustTrak™ II and DustTrak™ DRX Aerosol Monitors represent cutting-edge technology in ambient monitoring. These battery-operated, data-logging devices utilize light-scattering laser photometers to deliver real-time mass concentration readings for aerosol contaminants such as dust, smoke, fumes, and mist. Featuring a sheath air system, these instruments effectively isolate aerosols in the optics chamber, ensuring cleaner optics for enhanced reliability and minimal maintenance requirements.

Personal Aerosol Monitoring in the Breathing Zone

Our SidePak™ AM520 and AM520i Personal Aerosol Monitors deliver precise measurements of worker exposure to respirable dust, silica, and diesel particulate matter (DPM), including PM10, PM4, PM2.5, PM1, and 0.8 um DPM. Designed for versatility and lightweight convenience, these monitors capture data directly from the worker's breathing zone. The SidePak AM520i combines TSI's reliable design and user-friendly controls with portability, ideal for long-term real-time monitoring in intrinsically safe environments.

Real-Time Monitoring for Immediate Action

Traditional gravimetric sampling offers only a snapshot of exposure, averaged throughout an entire work shift. TSI's portable aerosol monitors provide real-time measurements at the worker level, within the breathing zone. This capability enables immediate understanding of worker exposure, allowing for prompt actions to mitigate risks. By avoiding delays associated with waiting for lab results, companies can proactively address potential hazards, leading to improved worker safety and reduced overall risk.
