Soaring temperatures, confined spaces with poor ventilation, high humidity, hot machinery, kilns and furnaces, welding, hot mine water and more — industrial and mining workers face a whole host of dangerous conditions in their jobs. The risk of heat cramps, heat stroke and heat exhaustion is widespread for those in the mining and industrial trades,
Hundreds of mine workers regularly suffer from heat-related illnesses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Heat-related illnesses also cause dangerous symptoms including confusion, seizures, hallucinations, muscle cramps and extreme fatigue, which can result in dangerous and deadly equipment operation accidents and falls, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
PassPatch is a cost-effective preventative solution:
- A small piece of non-invasive, wearable and portable personal protective equipment (PPE) for industrial and mine workers that reports back to a central monitor.
- An alert is issued when a person’s body temperature approaches a range indicating heat stress.
- This enables safety protocols to be deployed to immediately locate and care for the worker in distress.
PassPatch offers remote monitoring with a centralized notification system and easily functions both extreme heat and cold environments.
PassPatch can help save the lives of industrial and mine workers around the world.
As the climate changes and mines and industrial sites are increasingly affected by extreme temperature fluctuations, floods and droughts, it becomes even more important to monitor the health and safety of workers.
