Air Monitoring During Remediation
Cannot Have Gaps
The Challenge
15-minute intervals are hard to maintain
The HASP requires air monitoring every 15 minutes during active excavation. But the technician is also managing the excavation, directing traffic, and coordinating with the lab. Readings get missed.
Paper logs are filled in after the fact
The technician takes readings all day and writes them down when they remember. By end of shift, the 3 PM through 4 PM readings are estimated because nobody wrote them down at the time.
Action level exceedances are not flagged
A PID reading hits 25 ppm which triggers engineering controls per the HASP. But on paper, nobody notices until the PM reviews the logs hours later. Workers continued without protection.
Perimeter monitoring is inconsistent
Perimeter air monitors protect the surrounding community. But walking the perimeter every 15 minutes means some stations get checked and others get skipped when the technician is busy elsewhere.
The POD Advantage
Automated monitoring reminders
POD sends alerts every 15 minutes when monitoring is required. The technician speaks the reading and location. Missed readings are flagged immediately, not discovered hours later.
Voice-captured readings
Speak the instrument reading, location, and wind direction in 10 seconds. POD timestamps the reading and adds it to the monitoring log. No paper, no delays, no estimates.
Real-time action level alerts
When any reading exceeds an action level, POD immediately alerts the site safety officer and specifies the required response per the HASP. No more delayed responses to exceedances.
Station tracking and coverage
POD tracks which monitoring stations have been checked and which are overdue. The technician sees a map of stations with green for current and red for overdue.
Built for Air Monitoring Programs
“The health department shut us down for 3 days because our air monitoring logs had a 2-hour gap during active excavation. With POD the monitoring reminders go off every 15 minutes and every reading is time-stamped.”
— Health and Safety Officer, Environmental Contractor
