MX3 Diagnostics has announced the formation of the MX3 Hydration University Heat Stress Advisory Board (HSAB), an independent body of subject matter experts dedicated to advancing workplace safety and heat stress education.
The board will provide strategic guidance to MX3 Diagnostics on matters relating to heat stress management and develop independent educational content for the global industrial sector.
The appointees include Dr. Rob McDonald; occupational physician and former vice president of Health and Hygiene at BHP; Professor Moe Momayez, professor at the University of Arizona’s School of Mining Engineering and Mineral Resources and director of the University of Arizona’s Center of Excellence for Mine Safety; Ian Firth, principal consultant, Occupational Hygienist Fellow of the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH); David Bourne, safety area manager at Byrnecut; and Dr. David Lowry, certified occupational hygienist and adjunct professor at Edith Cowan University’s School of Medical and Health Sciences.
The company did not indicate a timeline for the group’s convening.
In February, MX3 Diagnostics said it and Komatsu successfully concluded its collaborative trial of the MX3 Heat Stress Management Toolkit, a system for mining operators offering tools, training, and real-time insights to manage workforce heat risk more effectively.
