June 20, 2005

Oconomowoc, WI — As Summertime Arrives in the Northern Hemisphere, Millions Of Workers Are Exposed to Increased Heat Stress Danger. Quest Technologies Inc, develops and manufactures monitoring instrumentation and software for Occupational and Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS) applications is proud to provide the QUESTemp° II and QUESTemp° III Personal Heat Stress Monitors. Working in high temperatures places stress on your body's cooling system. Combining heat with other stressors, such as poor ventilation, excessive humidity, heavy physical activity, loss of fluids, fatigue or some medical conditions can rapidly lead to a heat-related illness, disability and even death. Individual worker physiology also plays a significant role in risk levels encountered.

For these reasons, the QUESTemp° II and QUESTemp° III Personal Heat Stress Monitors have been developed. The QUESTemp° II is an easy-to-use personal heat stress indicator that monitors an individual's body temperature for indications of the onset of heat stress. The QUESTemp° III is an extremely compact personal heat strain indicator that monitors an individual's heart rate and body temperature for indications of the onset of heat strain. The QUESTemp° II & III consider the effects of wearing protective clothing and an individual's personal physical condition. Both units are compact and lightweight with audio and/or visual alarms.
