A UV monitoring device, tracking UV exposure and relaying the risk to the user before it becomes a threat. With the product being small, lightweight and portable it would fit perfectly into a builder’s bag or toolbox. The safety and educational aspect provides critical information for the health and well-being of outdoor workers. With the screen displaying three different colours indicating levels of risk, everyone on site can understand the colour coding system as it based on principles they intuitively understand. The robust casing gives the Monitor ultimate protection from tampering, damage and adverse weather conditions. The quick-release clamp allows it to be moved easily when working in different areas of a site. With the recent outbreak of COVID-19, many construction workers have been deemed to be key workers and putting themselves more at risk than ever before. With many of them taking further precautions in managing their health and wellbeing there is a definite need for this product.
