Keeping tube measurements safety and comfortably documented in 17 different languages. Scanning, measuring, capturing data: This is how mobile data logging works with smartphones. With the new free Draeger-Tubes app, you can record, archive and evaluate your measurement results in just a few steps. Before the measurement, the barcode is scanned on the test tube packing or the order number is entered manually. This ensures the clear identification of the selected Draeger-Tube. A graphical representation of a used and an unused Draeger-Tube provides you with assistance in the interpretation of the measurement results. Additional functions increase safety. The protocols can be supplemented with additional information such as photos, geographic and meteorological data. Thanks to the possibility of a personalized user profile, the protocols are automatically provided with your company logo, the user’s name and job title. You will not have to re-enter these data for every measurement. All measured data can also be displayed graphically as an option. The user has the possibility to create concentration-time, concentration-location or concentration-tube diagrams. The app saves all protocols reliably. Via the communication or file sharing apps installed on the smartphone, such as e-mail, WhatsApp, SMS, Dropbox, etc., the data can be forwarded as a PDF file quickly and easily. It is thus possible to issue recommendations for action even from remote locations on the basis of the measurement results. For comprehensive documentation, you can also summarize individual protocols to reports and forward them.

Workplace inspections are carried out, risks are identified, and measures are documented. This is exactly the work that makes occupational safety effective. But a large part of the work only begins after the inspection: the documentation back at the office. - Transfer photos from your phone. - Write up what was discussed. - Insert images into reports. - Fill out forms. - Format everything properly. And try not to lose your mind in the process. Instead of time for prevention, what often remains is one thing: bureaucracy. But occupational safety should achieve the exact opposite. It should help companies create safe workplaces. Not generate even more documentation effort. This is exactly the idea behind HSE-iD. HSE-iD was developed by safety professionals who know this reality from their own daily work. Our goal is a tool that reduces bureaucracy and strengthens prevention work. With HSE-iD, digital documentation is created that thinks ahead. PRE-LAUNCH HSE-iD is currently in the pre-launch phase. Official registration will be available shortly. During the pre-launch, the "Workplace Inspection" feature is already available. It was developed to reduce documentation time during inspections to a minimum. - Observations are recorded directly during the inspection. - Photos are automatically assigned. - Information is documented in a structured way. - Reports can be translated into 7 languages. This reduces post-processing at the office and creates more time for what really matters: effective prevention. HSE-iD is being developed together with safety professionals and managing directors from practice – with the goal of making occupational safety simpler, more effective, and future-proof. Additional features will follow with the official launch.
