PIMEX
PIMEX is one of the so-called video exposure monitoring methods which are used in occupational hygiene practise since their introduction in the mid-1980s.〔Rosen, G.; Andersson, I.M.; Walsh, P.T.; Clark, R.D.R.; Säämänen, Arto; Heinonen, Kimmo; Riipinen, H.; Pääkkönen, R.. 2005. A review of video exposure monitoring as an occupational hygiene tool. Annals of Occupational Hygiene, vol. 49, 3, ss. 201–217 .〕 The name PIMEX is an acronym from the words PIcture Mix EXposure, and implies that the method is based on mixing pictures, in this case from a video camera, with data on a worker’s exposure to some agent. The main idea of the method is to make invisible hazards in the work environment visible and in this manner facilitate the reduction of hazards in workplaces.

The method PIMEX was originally developed in Sweden during the 1980s by Gunnar Rosén and Ing-Marie Andersson.〔Rosén G, Lundström S. (1987) Concurrent video filming and measuring for visualization of exposure. Am Indust Hyg Ass J; 48: 688–92.〕〔Rosén G, Andersson I-M. (1989) Video filming and pollution measurement as a teaching aid in reducing exposure to airborne pollutants. Ann Occ Hyg; 33: 137–44.〕 Similar technique was developed also in USA where NIOSH researchers described a technique using a video overlay board and computer program to display, in real-time or after recording of data and video on tape, the measured value as a bar graph and the picture on the computer screen.〔Gressel M, Heitbrink WA, McGlothlin JD et al. (1987) Realtime, integrated, and ergonomic analysis of dust exposure during manual materials handling. Appl Ind Hyg J; 2: 108–13.〕〔Gressel MG, Heitbrink WA, McGlothlin JD et al. (1988) Advantages of real-time data acquisition for exposure assessment. Appl Ind Hyg; 3: 316–20〕
Video exposure monitoring has thereafter been further developed and used in a number of countries.〔Walsh PT, Clark RDR, Flaherty S et al.(2000) Computer-aided video exposure monitoring. Appl Occup Environ Hyg; 15: 48–56.〕〔Martin P, Brand F, Servais M. (1999) Correlation of the exposure to a pollutant with a task-related action or workplace: the CAPTIV system. Ann Occup Hyg; 43: 221–33.〕〔Kovein RJ. (1997) Video exposure monitoring at NIOSH: an update. Appl Occup Environ Hyg; 12: 638–41.〕〔Xu F, McGlothlin JD. (2003) Video exposure assessments of solvent exposures in university pharmaceutical laboratories—a pilot study. Chemical Health and Safety; 10: 23–8.〕
The workers’ knowledge of risks associated with their tasks and, perhaps more importantly, how these risks can be controlled, is essential to improve their health.〔 Applications of the PIMEX methods are various, focusing on work task analysis, training and risk communication, encouraging worker participation in and motivation for improvements in the workplace environment.
