Site Shield 360: the all-in-one dust and noise monitor

Working on a demolition or construction site, two things that always need to be monitored and kept under control are dust and noise. That's difficult to do without dedicated equipment being available, but gadgets are becoming available to make the task easier.

One we've heard about recently is the Site Shield 360 from European Attachments Group. It carries out boundary and site monitoring, feeding back information on dust, noise, wind speed, and direction simultaneously. That means you have a record of what has been produced throughout a working day. If preset limits are exceeded, alarms and emails can be sounded and sent.

We also like the fact this is a product manufactured in the UK and allows access to the data using nothing more complex than a web browser on your PC.

HSE release Noise and vibration at work podcast

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has made available a new podcast. For the uninitiated, a podcast is either a video or radio stream you can download and listen to or watch, or do the same online.

In this case the podcast is audio and focuses on noise and vibration at work. HSE's Pete Lennon chats about the risks of noise and vibration in the workplace. There's also a round-up of news, and some information on what facilities need to be provided at workplaces.

It's well worth a listen either online, or by downloading it and putting it on your digital music player. Visit the source link below for both streamed and downloadable versions.
