With an instrumentation heritage spanning over 200 years, Casella’s focus is now on the monitoring of the leading causes of occupational disease namely noise, vibration, dust and vapours. Casella also manufactures the Boundary Guardian primarily aimed at the construction and demolition sector for ambient monitoring of these agents as well as STORM Guardian for rainfall monitoring. Connectivity is a common theme across all these products providing remote access to data either via the web or mobile platforms. New for 2015, the dBadge2 personal noise dosimeter, Apex2 personal air sampling pump and Airwave App are recently launched ‘connected’ products which have received a Commended Award from the British Safety Industry Federation for Product Innovation. Featuring low energy Bluetooth, a first for this type of instrumentation, the App allows remote noise and dust monitoring using a mobile device, without having to disturb the worker. The App also allows summary data, photographs and notes to be emailed from the field leading to increased productivity for the busy Industrial Hygienist or Health & Safety professional.
