DustCanary - Model TREND 420 -Personal Real-time Respirable Dust Detector

Reduce respirable dust exposure risk - Support control measures

• The hierarchy of controls methodology for reducing dust exposure focuses efforts on elimination and controls ahead of the use of PPE as the final option to protect against risks.
• In well controlled workplaces, real-time qualitative and indicative respirable dust monitors can form part of the Engineering and Administrative Controls. Instant data availability demonstrates that these controls, including local exhaust ventilation (LEV), are working as designed and reduce the risk of an undetected incident which would otherwise increase worker exposure.

Practical, continuous personal dust monitoring

• The DustCanary™ TREND 420 wearable dust detector provides protection to
• workers in industrial and construction settings from inadvertent exposure to respirable dust.
• It provides visibility to the variability and hotspots of dust exposure and a record of the temporal record profile of dust exposure during a worker`s day.
• Instant visual and audible alarms alert when workers are exposed to increased respirable dust including respirable crystalline silica (RCS) so that action can be taken to minimise exposure.
• Being compact, lightweight with no sampling tubes or waist worn pumps as catch hazards, the DustCanary™ TREND 420 gives continuous protection without effecting worker productivity or work patterns.

• Create visibility to changes in dust levels and dust hotspots to help minimise personal
•  Discover what is happening between periodic compliance dust sampling
•  Empower employees to help manage risk around their dust exposure
• Support control measures by providing actionable alarms as soon as local exhaust ventilation (LEV) and other controls are not working adequately
• Protects wearers by warning them respiratory protection equipment c from a location with elevated dust levels
