8 hours a day, every day

13. Hearables – The Challenges
• How do you ensure that your workers are alert, are fit, not to stressed and
even alive!!!
• How do communicate with your workers and ensure that they are not
removing their hearing protection to listen and talk with you.
• How do you give workers audible proximity alarms to moving machinery,
edges to pits or fall hazards
• How do you capture and monitor vital body metrics and exposure to noise
levels in real time to compare against historical data.

15. Example: A Valued Worker in a Hostile Environment
• Hearables not Wearables are the way forward
• We can monitor & record the heart-beat, body temperature, oxygen saturation &
respiratory rate = We can tell if he is stressed and alive.
• We can protect, monitor & record noise exposure while working.
• We can selectively filter certain sounds e.g Engine or squeaking well-heads
• Custom Fit hearables are comfortable to use every day and all day
• Multi-way Communications between co-workers, supervisors and rescue crews.
• Position and movement recorded with GPS – You know where he has been and
where he is – and if he is still moving.
• If there is a fire and darkness impairs visibility then you can guide your worker to
safety with left, right and straight-on audio instructions.
• You can’t do any of this with nasty cheap foam plugs !!!
