Challenge
AES aims to raise awareness of occupational lung diseases from dust inhalation and promote real-time monitoring to prevent them using reliable data.
Partnering with Trolex allows AES to combine its occupational health expertise with advanced safety technology, delivering more effective, industry-leading solutions for managing dust risks and protecting worker health.
Outcome
AES supports broad hazard detection, helping businesses recognise and adopt real-time dust monitoring solutions.
Promoting AIR X, they’re aiming to protect workers exposed to harmful dust, with this partnership focusing on supporting high-risk industries, including mining, construction, and quarrying, with practical, data-driven safety solutions to reduce occupational health risks.
Company & Application
We’re excited to be partnered with Active Environmental Solutions (AES), working together to protect workers from the dangerous and often irreversible consequences of occupational lung diseases caused by dust inhalation.
With AES’s specialist knowledge of occupational health and safety in Australian industries and Trolex’s leading safety technology, the opportunity of delivering solutions to prevent the dangers of dust inhalation for Australian workers, is not just a possibility, but a reality thanks to this partnership.
The Challenge
AES want to spread awareness of the dangers of occupational lung diseases caused by dust inhalation. And in the case of dust monitoring, spreading awareness that real-time dust monitoring technology can help to prevent lethal occupational respiratory diseases with supporting dust data.
The opportunity to partner with Trolex was welcomed by AES, as it meant that they can merge their expertise in occupational health using Trolex’s leading safety technology, creating the best solutions to respective industries.
The AIR X Plan
This idea appealed to AES, and to Aleks Todorovic MSc, (OHP), Managing Director of AES’s team of Australian Occupational Safety experts at AES, as it aligned perfectly with the workers they seek to protect:
“Many businesses intuitively know the benefit of a broad threat detection – they just don’t know they know it, or perhaps how they go about implementing such devices.
It’s our job to awaken that knowledge and show them there are effective, real-time dust monitoring technologies, such as the Trolex AIR XD Dust Monitor, XD ONE Portable Dust Monitor and AIR XS Silica Monitor available to them.”

It’s a clear and simple presentation of responding to the facts. That’s why Trolex and AES are working to provide further support to Australia’s mining, tunnelling, quarrying and construction industries, where workers are at risk of exposure to dangerous dust.
The AIR X Solution
This common goal of providing and expert knowledge and specialist equipment to industry is the drive needed to inevitably reduce instances of occupational lung diseases to save lives. This collaboration does exactly that.
The approach taken by businesses within these industries must now change. With new legislation on exposure to harmful dust in Australia, new dust monitoring methods are needing to be implemented.
“As an occupational hygiene-minded business we know only too well the devastating effects inhaling respirable dusts can have on people’s long-term health. Real-time monitors are lifesaving technologies that need to be included in their safety thinking”
Aleks Todorovic MSc, (OHP)
Managing Director, AES
By using Trolex’s advanced dust monitoring technologies, small changes can have a huge impact. As the war on silica dust grows ever stronger by the day, more needs to be done.
With strict exposure limits coming into effect across Australia, particularly hard on respirable crystalline silica (RCS), real-time monitoring for silica dust is important, retaining live data and providing an instant alarm the legislated threshold is breached.
Whilst the ability to retrospectively assess levels of silica dust in facilities is available to industries where deadly silica dust is prevalent, the ability to monitor for silica dust in real time is not.
What this means moving forward
Aleks also commented on Trolex’s real-time silica monitor, AIR XS, which allows for accurate and reliable monitoring of hazardous RCS in workplace environments:
“We are really excited to be a part of this project to be able to detect silica in real time, and we’re proud to be distributing it throughout Australia. The project was produced with the support of the Centre for Work Health and Safety in NSW proving just how important and potentially life-saving the new technology will be.”
And with the talk of real-time, wearable silica monitoring devices a possibility in the future, of course it makes perfect sense for all industries to be increasingly focused on detection possibilities.
Together, Trolex and AES are providing real solutions for real problems in Australia.
