Dosimeter Detects Dangerous Noise Exposure  The CEL-350 dBadge micro noise dosimeter from Casella combats hearing loss dangers. The compact and lightweight safety tool measures the noise exposure of an employee over the working day to uncover dangerous areas and to ensure compliance with strict OSHA, NIOSH or ISO (European) regulations.
An employee can comfortably wear the dosimeter all day by attaching it to a shirt, overalls or hat. There are no microphone cables to damage or get caught in, nor is other external equipment required. The instrument is operated with two buttons located on its side. Once in operation, the unit captures a time history for every noise event, including average noise level and peak value, which is logged in 1-min values for later analysis. Its 64-kB memory stores up to 180 hrs of data.
The dosimeter includes a built-in display, making calibration easy while providing status information and key measured data. In addition, there is an ultra-bright LED that gives a visual indication of when exposure action levels have been exceeded by flashing at different rates.
Users looking to perform analysis of workplace noise begin by downloading the measurements stored in the instrument onto a PC. Report templates within the dosimeter software, which is supplied with the unit, allow the generation of user-defined databases. Data is viewed according to ISO and OSHA measurement protocols or in displays customized to user-specific requirements. For larger organizations, data can be shared with colleagues anywhere in the world using the software's import and export feature. The data can also be imported into different programs for reporting.
Because the controls can be locked, the risk of tampering or misuse is reduced. An intrinsically safe (IS) version of the dBadge is available for use in hazardous locations, such as petrochemical plants. The unit's built-in NiMH rechargeable battery pack runs for up to 32 hrs, giving four 8-hr shifts under normal conditions. Recharging takes only 90 min.
