Of course, Real-Time Silica Monitoring has been the \u201choly grail\u201d of detection companies for many years with no one managing to achieve it or even get close. Honestly, that just made it more of an exciting challenge for us so we worked day and night to crack the puzzle of defining crystalline particles accurately in real-time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best bit is, all that hard work has paid off and we will proudly launch the <\/span><b><i>world\u2019s first-ever real-time silica monitor in 2022.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Q2: What is the role of data in real-time silica dust monitoring?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply put it&#8217;s proven in many other areas, data allows you to make educated decisions to effect change and save lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider this, it may be that only a part of a process or event causes dangerous levels ? or it may be that there are continuous levels of hazardous particulate constantly, at the moment, how would you know?\u00a0 Knowing the difference entirely affects the controls and safety measures you put in place and how often you review them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What we believe is going to be even more valuable is the data that demonstrates the length of time the hazard remains present in environmental conditions and how far that hazard is present from the original source. XRD, gravimetric or other sampling systems cannot give you an accurate picture of that making the right controls difficult to define.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Q3: With increasing casualties of silica dust exposure, what are your insights on the current respiratory health and safety for the mining workforce?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can clearly see awareness starting to increase which is fantastic, the problem is really around time frames, unfortunately, many people will die for many years to come because of what they have been exposed to in the past. In our opinion, the only way to stop this affecting generations of people to come is to implement change right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, we have the controls available but until now we didn\u2019t have the visibility. With <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/trolex.com\/product\/xd-one\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XD One<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Air XS (the silica Monitor due in 2022) there are no excuses for ignorance anymore, we CAN save people\u2019s lives by understanding the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Q4: Is enough being done to deal with silica dust at its source and what can be done differently?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think once we start to see the data come back from different environments globally we will see that the precautions taken are really not adequate. Of course, any Safety advisor knows you should always remedy the problem at the source where possible, I suspect in the majority of cases this is overlooked as expensive or time-consuming, which really isn\u2019t the case.\u00a0 Clever suppression, Mechanical controls and fantastic PPE is available and it\u2019s a case of using the right option for the right environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Q5: How do we bridge the gap between &#8216;lagging&#8217; legislation and doing the right thing to save lives?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is such a hard question to answer as its natural to default to the legislation for guidance, I\u2019d urge people to look at the problem in comparison to other work-related illnesses to see the legislation isn\u2019t yet enough.\u00a0 The great news is that many of the world&#8217;s authorities on the subject are now making a case for change and agreeing the legislation should be the bare minimum in terms of action in the meantime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our strategy has been to try to reduce the complexity and cost of instruments, whilst we can always improve on these factors, this is our way of giving power to those who care they can now gain the data and make informed decisions and maybe save someone\u2019s life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Q6: What are some of the key challenges faced by Trolex currently? (In spreading awareness and expanding Trolex in the market)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest challenge for any business is implementing change, of course our products are all about changing the way people do things, mostly the resistance is fear of the unknown which isn\u2019t a symptom-specific to safety, technology or silica.\u00a0 All we ask is that people take the time to listen with an open mind, those who actually want to save lives, save money and make a change tend to quickly embrace the technology. Of course, we accept there\u2019s no \u201cone size fits all\u201d so providing we prompt a chain of thought which makes an impact we are confident we are doing the right thing by our ethos and brand, if people respect that we trust the business will come later.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Q7: Moving forward, how important are collaborations in tackling silica dust at its source?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can\u2019t say this enough. Trolex is only part of the puzzle in this global problem, collaboration between solution providers, regulators, end-users, corporate stakeholders and safety professionals are critical in making an impact, after all the information is only as good as the way it\u2019s used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If together we could save 10% of people being exposed to deadly levels globally next year that would be estimated at around 50,000 people, I think we can easily make a much bigger impact than that by working together and being open-minded about the solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If ever there was a time for unity especially around a preventable respiratory disease, surely the last 2 years has taught us that time is right now. If anyone out there is pleading the same message I\u2019d urge them to get in touch, working together we can make a change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about real-time silica dust monitoring, visit &#8211;
