										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Deploying safety technology can be unfamiliar for many of Proxxi’s customers, leading to common questions before they start.</p>
<p>To address these questions, we&#8217;ve compiled the most frequently asked ones and their answers from our team.</p>
<h2>    &#8211; What is the biggest challenge that you encounter when introducing the Proxxi Voltage wristband to a company?</h2>
<p>The primary challenge in introducing Proxxi Voltage to an organization lies in its proper and trained use. Similar to any tool, improper handling can lead to avoidable challenges. Managing expectations and ensuring wearers receive adequate training and specific usage guidelines become crucial.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5116 size-large" src="https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/unsplash-image-3coKbdfnAFg-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="600" srcset="https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/unsplash-image-3coKbdfnAFg-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/unsplash-image-3coKbdfnAFg-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/unsplash-image-3coKbdfnAFg-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/unsplash-image-3coKbdfnAFg-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/unsplash-image-3coKbdfnAFg-2048x1366.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></p>
<p>We offer trials before full deployment, conducting live online onboarding sessions with trial participants. This not only familiarizes them with the product but also integrates Voltage into your company culture during a controlled pilot. This approach creates employee champions for the eventual full deployment. Additionally, Proxxi provides live in-person or remote onboarding options to suit your team&#8217;s learning preferences.</p>
<h2>    &#8211; <strong>Does having a wearable alarm on their wrist create complacency among workers?</strong></h2>
<p>Contrarily, using Proxxi Voltage increases workers&#8217; awareness of their surroundings. While technicians continue following electrical safety processes like Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO), they become more conscious of any alterations in their environment.</p>
<p>Voltage delivers real-time risk assessment, alerting wearers to process failures or system changes (e.g., undocumented work, remote-controlled power) before contact. Operating as a constant monitor, the wristband acts as a final line of defense, engaging only after multiple other safety steps have failed.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-4257 aligncenter" src="https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/trainingforelectricalsafety-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="675" srcset="https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/trainingforelectricalsafety-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/trainingforelectricalsafety-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/trainingforelectricalsafety-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/trainingforelectricalsafety-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/trainingforelectricalsafety-2048x1536.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></p>
<p><a class="_ps2id" href="https://www.mdpi.com/2313-576X/2/3/16/htm" data-ps2id-offset="">Research</a> contradicts the notion of &#8216;risk compensation,&#8217; indicating that additional safety measures don&#8217;t lead to riskier behaviors.</p>
<h2>    &#8211; <strong>Will Proxxi Voltage generate false alarms and distract workers?</strong></h2>
<p>Proxxi Voltage offers adjustable settings and the option to mute alerts, empowering users to customize alerts based on their environment or silence them during non-electrical tasks. This flexibility minimizes nuisance alerts.</p>
<p>In well-designed environments, the wristband alerts only to settings-deemed risks. Typically, modern infrastructures, being well grounded and shielded, create an optimal environment for Proxxi Voltage to detect unexpected electrical sources.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the onset of COVID-19, there has been a rapid surge in the usage of face masks and shields. Globally, the daily consumption of masks reaches billions, yet we often overlook the substantial impact of the waste generated by these vital protective items.</p>
<p>Wearing a mask and discarding it might seem simple, but do we consider the environmental implications after disposal? Surprisingly, studies indicate that a staggering 3.4 billion masks and face shields are discarded daily. These numbers are indeed alarming. Let&#8217;s delve into ways to maintain health and safety while being mindful of sustainability.</p>
<h2>PPE Disposal for Medical Waste Management</h2>
<p>The proliferation of healthcare products, particularly PPE (personal protective equipment), has become integral to various industries, especially in the post-COVID era. However, what becomes of these medical items after we&#8217;re done using them?</p>
<p>Most used medical products, including face masks and gloves, cannot be recycled. Intended for single-use, they are meant to be disposed of afterward. Yet, this doesn&#8217;t imply a direct journey to landfills without any considerations.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-4235 aligncenter" src="https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/waste-coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic-garbage-face-2021-10-21-04-03-47-utc-min-683x1024.webp" alt="" width="683" height="1024" srcset="https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/waste-coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic-garbage-face-2021-10-21-04-03-47-utc-min-683x1024.webp 683w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/waste-coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic-garbage-face-2021-10-21-04-03-47-utc-min-200x300.webp 200w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/waste-coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic-garbage-face-2021-10-21-04-03-47-utc-min-768x1152.webp 768w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/waste-coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic-garbage-face-2021-10-21-04-03-47-utc-min-1024x1536.webp 1024w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/waste-coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic-garbage-face-2021-10-21-04-03-47-utc-min-1365x2048.webp 1365w, https://www.meganova.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/waste-coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic-garbage-face-2021-10-21-04-03-47-utc-min-scaled.webp 1706w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s crucial to note that many medical items, including masks, are predominantly made of various plastics, posing a threat to our planet and its biodiversity. Ocean pollution has notably escalated since COVID-19 due to our insufficient care in handling medical waste. Shockingly, a single face mask can release 173,000 microfibers into our oceans and seas, as per a study.</p>
<p>Explore <a class="_ps2id" href="https://evreka.co/ebooks/medical-waste-sustainable-medical-waste-management/" data-ps2id-offset="">Evreka&#8217;s ebook</a> for insights into the treatment, sorting, and transportation of diverse medical wastes.</p>
<h2>How to Treat Contaminated PPE</h2>
<p>PPE, introduced during COVID-19, encompasses face masks, gloves, shields, and protectors. Their disposal differs from conventional materials. As previously mentioned, face masks cannot be recycled. How are they managed?</p>
<p>Professional firms specialize in collecting, transporting, and treating medical waste, considering them hazardous materials that demand careful handling. Typically, disposal involves three primary processes: incineration, thermal treatment, and chemical treatment. Software solutions exist to streamline medical waste management operations. Find detailed information <a class="_ps2id" href="https://evreka.co/different-waste-disposal-software-for-different-wastes/" data-ps2id-offset="">here.</a></p>
<h3><strong>How to Throw Away Your Used Masks During Your Daily Lives?</strong></h3>
<p>Hygiene dictates that we cannot reuse medical masks. After use, they should be disposed of in designated medical waste containers. If such containers aren&#8217;t available, placing the mask in a bag for subsequent disposal is recommended. Disposing of masks in regular garbage or recycling bins risks contaminating recyclable materials and potentially endangers others.</p>
<h2>Are There alternatives for Traditional Masks</h2>
<p>For those seeking more sustainable options, cloth masks are a viable choice. Reusable over an extended period, they do have a limited lifespan and require regular washing. However, the quality of the material is critical; inferior quality might render them ineffective against viruses and diseases. When purchasing a cloth mask, ensure the material and size suit your needs for proper functionality.</p>
