Edinburgh-based occupational risk prevention specialist, Reactec, is continuing the expansion of its distribution network throughout Europe, following an agreement with BaSystemen BV to supply Reactec’s workplace wearable technology across the Benelux region.

BaSystemen is an established provider of occupational health, safety and environmental monitoring instruments in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

The business supplies innovative measuring systems for managing exposure to a variety of industrial risks with a keen consideration to the occupational Working Conditions Act in the Netherlands, known as Arbowet, which states that every employee has the right to a safe and healthy workplace.

The Benelux region has strong construction activity with a traditional approach to managing health and safety. It is also a key industrial region for steel and downstream oil and gas, which are all industries where workers are exposed to harmful gas, dust, noise and vibration-related injury.

BaSystemen will distribute Reactec’s suite of workplace wearable technology to help companies working in these sectors.

Reactec’s prevention engineering approach proactively tackles common occupational health and safety risks, using an ecosystem of workplace wearables and cloud-based analytics. Reactec’s latest wearable technology, the R-Link watch, is designed to monitor multiple occupational health and safety risks on a single device to help companies reduce exposure to hand-arm vibration, dust and dangerous proximity to operating hazards in real-time. While the Reactec software’s intelligent analytics empowers employers to prevent future occupational health and safety risks by design.

Jacqui McLaughlin, Chief Executive Officer of Reactec, said: “This exciting partnership with BaSystemen is the perfect fit and will benefit forward-thinking companies across the Benelux region who are seeking a proactive approach to occupational health and safety risk management. We know from our decades of experience in the risk prevention business that monitoring, and the early detection of harmful exposure, is absolutely vital to the sustainability of your workforce.”

Khoa Nguyen, Commercial Director of BaSystemen, said: ‘’We truly believe that connected health and safety monitoring solutions play an essential role in managing risks and the wellbeing of workers worldwide. Reactec’s company vision and suite of advanced solutions perfectly align with ours, and therefore this partnership is not only an obvious choice to us, but a valuable opportunity to introduce this offering to the Benelux market.’’
