New Solutions at Work: Heat Stress, Hearing Protection, Signal Incubator

Please see below for information on these new Solutions at Work: 

MX3 Hydration Testing System: Heat stress poses a considerable risk to workers across various industries and organizations. Objective measurements to evaluate the risk of heat exhaustion or heat stroke historically requires medical personnel or wearable devices to measure heart rate, skin and core body temperature, and total body water loss from sweating.

NIOSH Sound Level Meter App: Instrumentation to evaluate noise in the workplace provides foundational data to identify sources of hazardous noise, determine feasible engineering controls, and select the types of hearing protection that will reduce noise exposures to acceptable levels.

Signal Mutual Innovation Incubator Program: The Maritime Industry is rapidly evolving, presenting challenges and risks that our Mutual and its Members aim to address effectively to ensure safe and efficient operations. Signal Mutual has a unique initiative called the Innovation Incubator Program. This program combines funding, input from Members, and beta testing to develop innovative solutions to the challenges faced by our Members. The Incubator Program allows Members to test new solutions with minimal risk and often at little or no cost, facilitating accelerated development and implementation. This exemplifies the Power of the Mutual in action.
