Monitoring/Noise Monitoring
This module records and tracks a wide variety of user defined sample types including, but not limited to, personal, area, bulk, wipe and direct reading samples. The system is capable of storing data related to chemical stressors, biological stressors and physical stressors such as radiation, heat stress and vibration.
The module includes numerous fields to capture sample details including, but not limited to, employee sampled, process, tasks, controls, job position, location and PPE worn. The system also provides fields to store data related to sampling equipment, collection media used, calibration data, sample time, volume and environmental conditions. The agent section stores and calculates all sample data entered in the system.
The system has robust calculation tools which can calculate concentration and time weighted average (TWA) including the ability to calculate integrated TWAs for a sample set.. The system allows for the definition of unlimited standards related to any agent to accommodate multiple jurisdictions. An effective start and end date system allows the user to store historical standards and terminate standards that have been withdrawn. Based on the jurisdiction and sample date on a sample record the appropriate standard for that time is compared automatically with entered results. A Brief & Scala OEL reduction tool is also available to reduce occupational exposure limits for extended shifts.
A laboratory interface is available to allow secured electronic loading of analytical results by laboratories. A secured login can be provided to a laboratory. When a laboratory enters Medgate they can only access the requisition module and can only see and manage samples sent to their laboratory.
A corrective actions tracking feature is included. Any actions can be assigned through Medgate and automatic reminders and notifications can be set-up to run through Medgate’s Automatics E-mail Notification System (MAEN)
Notification letters and reports are available to report data to both management and staff. Robust report queries allow for the reporting by numerous factors including, but not limited to, employee, location, process, task, job position and exposure group. Queries are also available to search the database by percent of OEL (e.g. search for all results exceeding 50% of the OEL)
There are three tools available to statistically evaluate data stored in the Monitoring module, LogNorm, LOGAN and the AIHA Spreadsheet.
Noise Monitoring
This module stores the results of personal dosimetry, sound level measurements and octave band analysis. The system is also configurable for different exchange (doubling) rates and for criteria levels (dB equivalents to 100% dose). In addition, separate dosimetry results can be saved for both 80dB and 90dB threshold values.
The entry screen captures operation status, sampling strategy, and name of the person conducting the sample. Personal samples include name of the employee (and their demographic data), types of personal protective equipment worn, their exposure groups, tasks performed, and the engineering and administrative controls used. The program also captures sampling equipment used and pre and post calibration data.
