The collection of contextual data surrounding exposure to a variety of environmental health hazards is critical to understand the link between certain activities and adverse health outcomes. CRG Defense and VigiLifeTM have developed a modern, scalable, and automated system that provides context and location awareness to environmental and physiological exposures through real-time monitoring, aiding industrial hygienists with health risk assessments.
The Exposure Awareness System, or EAS, is capable of integrating a number of sensors commonly used for exposure monitoring, including gas monitors, particulate sensors, noise dosimeters, and bio-monitoring devices. CRG Defense has partnered with VigiLife’s Safeguard® to provide a platform to sense, analyze, and visualize data with secure and encrypted data transmission.
The EAS helps prevent workplace injuries and reduce hazardous exposures with the following features:
- Compiled Remote Data – Collected data all in one place of various metrics for associated workers/locations
- Physiological Monitoring – Captures heart rate, core body temperature, heat stress/strain, and physical exertion
- Locational Awareness – Provides context for exposure data by monitoring indoor and outdoor location proximity to hazardous work spaces
- Real-Time Alerts and Insights – Sets limits and sends alerts to worker and safety/management for targeted protection
- Environmental Monitoring – Captures data for gases, VOCs, particulates, temperature, humidity, heat index, and noise
- Multi-Sensor Support – Supports easy addition of new sensors, ML upgrades, and integration with commercial software
