Employee hydration directly impacts safety. Make sure you keep your employees hydrated to not only stay safe, but to boost productivity and even avoid complications from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration!
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has recently instituted its new National Emphasis Program to help ensure workers' safety, including hydration levels, in manufacturing plants. Here are some ways to avoid harsh penalties.
MX3 is excited to announce our partnership with Twilight Aged Care, a leading aged care provider in Sydney. Residential aged care is something entirely different from our usual sport and industrial use-cases, and this partnership will help us understand how we can best apply the MX3 Hydration Testing System in this important setting.
Spot-check USG measurements for identifying dehydration – less accurate than you think! Many companies and sports teams have relied on urine specific gravity (USG) spot-checks for identifying dehydrated workers or athletes. In this post we’ll highlight some research demonstrating how this approach can lead to many workers being incorrectly classified as dehydrated.
35% of workers experience occupational heat strain when working in the heat, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses (HRI). Alongside thermal risk assessment, environmental controls and physiological monitoring, one of the most important ways to reduce risk is to empower workers to combat heat strain through appropriate training.
We’ve previously described how even mild dehydration increases confusion and fatigue, inhibiting decision making and increasing the difficulty of complex mental tasks. In this article we’ll look at several studies which examine the effect of dehydration on vigilance and errors, highlighting the importance of staying hydrated to reduce the chances of accidents and improve safety.
LOCAL mode measurements are now stored on the MX3 LAB and can be uploaded to the MX3 App and assigned to users for data logging and analysis.
