Respiratory Particulate Air Monitor

Post by Lyle.ramsey »

Afternoon folks,
Hope everyone is well.
Has anyone ever had any experience using the Dust-Haz HD-1100 Respiratory Particulate Air Monitor?

I have recently been issued it by our compliance depot, but they have failed to provide any accompanying standard protocol to operate too.

Kind regards
Lyle

Not this one in particular.
I don´t know how complex is the equipment but is not a question of training to use this equipment?

My thoughts exactly. No training whatsoever. Just arrived back to my desk one day with the device resting on it, had an email from the HSE manager with a pdf version of the instruction manual, that's it. Madness...

Hi again,
I checked this particular equipment and looks more like a permanent dust monitor, and not an air sampling unit.
I don't know how the HSE will see this type of device for monitoring the air quality.

But definitely, you need more info, what you are monitoring, and what to do when reaching the action values.
