TSI RELEASES OMNIWEAR NOISE, A LIGHTWEIGHT, EASY-TO-USE DOSIMETER
TSI Incorporated, a global specialist in data-driven solutions, has brought to market an ultra-lightweight (36g) bodily worn exposure monitor, OmniWear Noise Dosimeter. This small and robust noise monitoring device, capable of measuring all workplace noise parameters simultaneously, has been designed to be an unobtrusive yet exceptionally accurate tool for workplace noise assessment.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 16% of hearing loss globally is attributed to occupational noise exposure. Noise monitoring is essential to understand the exposure levels and risks to employees in the workplace. Wearable dosimeters in particular offer the unique benefit of analysing an individual’s dynamic exposure throughout a working day.
With one-button operation and an all-weather IP65 rating, the OmniWear Noise Dosimeter is a user-friendly noise monitor designed for rapid deployment to all workplaces. The dosimeter is designed to be simple to operate and report data for those who may have not used noise dosimeters before.
The OmniWear Noise Dosimeter has a maximum 16- hour run time and is ideal for complete shift exposure measurements, allowing employers to monitor the exact level of noise experienced by wearers. The device can also be used for specific task measurements, defining working areas or employees that may require hearing protection.
Exposure limits are averaged across an eight-hour working day. The OmniWear Noise Dosimeter calculates and displays this average in plain text via an app for employers to easily quantify noise levels for compliance purposes.
TACKLING LEGIONNAIRE’S
Acorn Safety Services is offering free legionella audits to businesses, schools and public sector organisations following a concerning increase in cases of Legionnaire’s disease across the UK.
Experts at Acorn Safety Services say many sites, even well managed ones, are unknowingly uncompliant with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Health and Safety Executive’s Legionnella guidance (ACoP L8 and HSG274) and urging businesses and organisations to take up their complimentary offer of help.
The audit takes less than an hour and includes a review of the legionella risk assessment status, checks on logbooks, flushing and temperature records, visual inspection of high-risk areas and recommendations and next steps.
The resulting report will give a clear snapshot of compliance, and an action plan.

The app is available on both Apple and Android devices and can control and monitor up to 20 devices simultaneously, via Bluetooth, without interruption to the user. Offering real-time data collection and a post run reporting, employers can track periods of excessive exposure and act to minimise risk to wearers.
Ketan Mehta, Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing, said: “The OmniWear Noise Dosimeter is perfect for health and safety practitioners new to noise dosimetry, combining intuitive use with accurate noise measurement. The light and robust design guarantees low body burden for the wearer and when used in conjunction with our control and monitoring App, the OmniWear Noise Dosimeter allows you to perfectly capture the important noise data you need.”
Paired with a CEL-120 calibrator that offers a one-touch automatic calibration, the OmniWear Noise Dosimeter can offer convenient and assured accuracy in the field.

Operations Director Zeynep Guzelkasap said: “We are regularly seeing the same issues across many businesses, such as outdated or missing legionella risk assessments, inconsistent or incomplete temperature and flushing logs, no appointed or trained responsible person, and neglected assets like tanks, showers and thermostatic mixing valves.
“These gaps can put both compliance and people at risk. Legionnaires’ disease is serious and potentially fatal. While most cases can be treated with antibiotics, it can lead to severe complications, and even death, especially in vulnerable individuals. We want to stop this increase in cases in its tracks and feel that strongly about it, we are offering free audits to help.”
