Safety award for WA company
Jessica Darnbrough
Sensear has been awarded the 2008 Best Newcomer Award at the Melbourne Safety in Action Conference.
Managing Director Justin Miller said that the award reflected the potential of Sensear’s technology to dramatically reduce the incidence of Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) in the workplace.
The device was recognised as the best new invention at the Safety in Action conference.
“NIHL is major health and safety issue in our workplaces particularly for people working in transport, construction, manufacturing and mining industries.
“It takes only two minutes exposure to very loud noise before permanent hearing damage takes place.
“That is an unacceptable risk to employees,” he said.
Sensear developed an electronic ear plug which allows face to face, mobile phone and two-way radio communication. An ear muff version will be released later this year.
According to the company, the products use algorithm technology which suppresses industrial and other very loud noises to a safe level but allows speech to remain clear and audible.
