This study reviews use of video exposure monitoring (VEM, also known as PIMEX) as an occupational hygiene tool since its inception in the mid-1980s. VEM involves the combination of real-time monitoring instruments, usually for gases/vapours and dust, with video of the worker's activities. VEM is an established method used by practitioners in different countries. The technical aspects of these VEM systems are described, then applications of VEM are discussed, focussing on task analysis, training (risk communication), encouraging worker participation in and motivation for improvements in the workplace environment and occupational hygiene research. The experiences from these applications are used to illustrate how exposure visualization with video can act as a catalyst, initiating a change process in the workplace. Finally, the role of VEM as a workplace improvement tool, now and in the future, is discussed.
本研究回顾了自20世纪80年代中期视频暴露监测（VEM，也称为PIMEX）作为一种职业卫生工具的使用情况。VEM涉及实时监测仪器（通常用于气体/蒸气和粉尘）与工人活动视频的结合。VEM是不同国家从业者使用的一种既定方法。本文描述了这些VEM系统的技术方面，然后讨论了VEM的应用，重点是任务分析、培训（风险沟通）、鼓励工人参与工作场所环境改善并激发其积极性以及职业卫生研究。这些应用的经验用于说明视频暴露可视化如何能够成为一种催化剂，启动工作场所的变革过程。最后，讨论了VEM作为一种工作场所改进工具在现在和未来所起的作用。
