Physical Hazards

Physical hazard monitoring covers noise, vibration, heat stress, radiation, pressure, lighting, and other non-chemical workplace exposures that can cause hearing loss, musculoskeletal injury, or tissue damage. Browse subcategories below to find instruments for the specific physical hazard you need to measure. Rent well-maintained, annually calibrated monitoring equipment from RAECO Rents, with technical phone support to help you choose the right instrument and get accurate readings on site.
