Casella CEL has redeveloped its popular lightweight and cable-free dBadge noise dosimeter to increase its robustness, allowing the dosimeter to be used in the harshest of environments with absolute reliability. Owing to its popularity for use in mining applications, the redeveloped dBadge now features rubber over-moulding on the case to further increase toughness, and provide protection from the water and dust prevalent in mines or similar environments.

Casella has also added a new model to its noise dosimetry range, the CEL-350L dBadge Lite, which offers simple functionality at a very affordable price. The Lite measures all the same occupational noise parameters as the original dBadge except for the time history of exposure to noise levels, so is ideal for users needing straightforward noise dose results at low cost. Market Manager Tim Turney commented: “The redesign of the dBadge shows Casella CEL’s commitment to continually improving its range of high quality exposure measurement instruments. The addition of the dBadge Lite to the range ensures that cost need not be a deterrent to safety.”
