OCCUPATIONAL HYGIENE

Responsibility for worker health and safety is a tough job that requires you to know the facts. TSI occupational hygiene instruments provide the precision measurements you need to make the critical decisions that affect worker's lives.

 

The hazards found in occupational environments vary widely, as do the occupational hygiene instruments offered by TSI to measure them. Easy to use hand-held and portable instruments measure parameters including dust concentration, temperature, air velocity, gas concentration, indoor air quality (IAQ), ventilation performance, pressure differential, humidity and respirator fit. TSI provides high precision measurements for the serious health and safety professional.

TSI, SPONSOR OF THE FIT2FIT RPE FIT TEST PROVIDERS ACCREDITATION SCHEME IN UK — August 25, 2009 -  Recent HSE research indicates that up to 50% of all RPE used does not offer the wearer the level of protection assumed and one of the major reasons is that it simply does not fit! TSI GIVES BACK TO HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMUNITY — January 1, 2009 — TSI Incorporated donated over $250,000 in PortaCount Respirator Fit Testers to numerous University and College ABET-accredited industrial hygiene training programs. TSI realizes the importance of the future of Industrial Hygiene, EH&S and Industrial Safety and would like to recognize these programs and aid in their success. These fit testers will allow students to prepare for their graduation and transition into the Professional Health and Safety community.TSI INCORPORATED AWARDED GSA CONTRACT WITH THE US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT — January 1, 2009 -- TSI Inc. has been awarded a GSA (General Services Administration) Multiple Award Schedule contract, GS-07F-0428U, with the US Federal Government.

During the bidding process in 2001, Beijing made the agreement with the International Olympic Commission to bring air quality within the World Health Organization standards. Pollution levels remain one of the biggest challenges for the Olympic Games and some athletes have spoken of withdrawing from events because of the health threat.INTRODUCING DUSTTRAK II AND DRX AEROSOL MONITORS — June 1, 2008-  TSI Incorporated announces the worldwide introduction of the DUSTTRAK™ II and DRX Aerosol Monitors. The new DUSTTRAK II and DRX Aerosol Monitors are battery-operated, data-logging, light-scattering laser photometers that give you real-time aerosol mass readings. NEW PORTACOUNT® PRO AND PRO+ RESPIRATOR FIT TESTERS — June 2, 2008-  TSI Incorporated announces the worldwide introduction of the PORTACOUNT® PRO and PRO+ Respirator Fit Testers. These new respirator fit testers offer fast, simple, easy-to-use, stand-alone operation and are OSHA-compliant for all respirators. No other respirator fit tester can quantitatively fit test all types of respirators—gas masks, SCBAs, respirators, even N95 disposable (filtering-facepiece) respirators.
