The Control Hire Personal Dust Monitor clips directly onto a belt, chest strap or clothing patch so every worker in a dust-prone area carries continuous, real-time monitoring with them wherever they go. A simple three-colour traffic light display: green, yellow, red, gives an instant, language-neutral read on dust and fume concentrations, prompting the use of masks, extraction or other controls before levels become a problem.
Readings sync over Bluetooth to the livemonitoring app, where teams can review live data, download CSV exports, track trends across a shift, and set personalised alert thresholds for their site. Measurements are indicative and designed to support your dust management plan and PPE decisions in real time: they work alongside, not instead of, your formal exposure monitoring and compliance testing.
Built for harsh site conditions, the monitor is shock-resistant and rated for extended shifts, with a rechargeable battery lasting up to 40 hours in eco mode. Application-specific configurations are available for general dust, welding fume, and woodworking dust, so the monitor can be tuned to the hazard that matters most on your project.
