Use of PIMEX visualisation technique for minimizing exposure

Introduction

PIMEX (Picture Mix Exposure) allows the flow of work to be filmed with a video camera and simultaneously exposure data to be recorded by means of sensors and transducers attached to the workers. The exposure data are added to the video by means of special software. The activity of the worker is linked at any time to the recorded exposure values. Originally it only covered chemical hazards. Today it can process a large variety of physical and ergonomic factors. The system motivates to change the work process until satisfactory results are achieved. The tool facilitates discussions to achieve optimum solutions.
