Castle Group of Scarborough has launched a totally new concept for compliance with the noise at work regulations. It is called dBAlert and is a personally worn device that warns the wearer when noise levels become dangerous, and that hearing protection must be used. It also notifies the wearer when it is safe to remove their ear defenders.

According to industrial safety law, areas subject to hazardous noise must be clearly defined, and workers notified of the danger.  In many industrial settings, the noise hazard will vary throughout the premises and employees are often mobile. This is where the Castle dBAlert personal noise activated warning unit comes into play.

dBAlert activates only when the noise exceeds a user-defined, pre-set level. On triggering, a hyper-bright warning LED flashes to catch the wearer’s attention through their peripheral vision giving a clear, visible warning to exposed workers that ear-defenders must be worn.

dBAlert also comes with a vibrating alert. This gives the wearer the added warning of a ‘mobile phone’ style, pulsed vibration for the first 10 seconds of the device being triggered, to bring attention to the fact that dangerous noise levels have been exceeded.

dBAlert is a self-contained unit, housing it’s electronics in a tough case, and is easily set-up to company specific levels meaning it will be ready for action within moments of leaving the box.
