Inform, protect & deploy resources and assets to e�ectively manage HAVS risks

HAVS monitoringjust got personal

Personal HAV protectionHAVWEARSimple to use and low cost for every-day worker protection.The HAVWEAR is wrist mounted to provide a truly personal monitoring experience. It calculates and displays in real-time HSE exposure points to inform the wearer of their exposure to vibration. Sound and vibration alerts also inform the wearer of incremental increases in exposure and action thresholds exceeded.

You choose how to monitor?The HAVWEAR is ground breaking due to its dual ability to calculate HAVs exposure points using either pre-de�ned tool vibration magnitude or the wearers wrist vibration.

Tool exposureHSE exposure points are calculated using a tools pre-de�ned average vibration magnitude.

Personal exposureReal time wrist vibration experienced by the wearer is used to calculate personal exposure points.

Whichever option you chose to calculate exposure points, tool usage can be tracked by simply pushing the HAVWEAR button before placing the HAVWEAR next to a tool tag before use. A stick-on tool tag is programmed with tool information and communicates with the HAVWEAR to share tool information.

HAVWEAR rede�nes what is “reasonably practical” when lowering HAVS risks. *When used to support HAVS risk reduction activities.

Select either personal measured vibration of the wrist or pre-de�ned tool vibration. Wrist mounted and communicates with tool tags to track tool use.

Realtime calculation and display of HSE exposure points.

Reactec Analytics Reports Without accurate knowledge of operator daily exposure, the likelihood of safely applying controls to keep HAVs exposure below required levels is extremely low due to the unpredicat-ability of most work processes across sectors from landscap-ing to engineering.

It is also widely accepted that manual assessments of exposure in the workplace, following regulations, will have a high level of uncertainty. This can in�uence actions to reduce risk as well as assessing their e�ectiveness at a later date. Hence digital monitoring is critical to reduce this signi�cant

uncertainty on true exposure and help expedite the mitiga-tion of HAVS risks.

HAVWEAR is part of the Reactec Analytics Platform system which automates the whole process from calculating HSE exposure points in the �eld to viewing online reports. The reports include individual worker exposure and related tool use to pinpoint exposure hot spots. Also over the longer term the Reactec Analytics Platform to be used to manage the exposure of the whole works force and so impact positively on health management.

Reactec Analytics Reports support risk reduction activityAlternative work methods The reports more accurately identify areas of risk and where to look for alternative work methods to design out risks. Equipment selection Tool usage reports highlight the most suitable equipment for tasks. Compare tool vibration magnitudes in the �eld to help select the lowest vibration tools that are suitable and can do the work e�ciently.

Maintenance & purchasing policy for replacing old plant View how long tools have really been used. This can help maintenance scheduling, plan replacements and identify poor tool use. Also monitor actual tool vibration to predict tool failure or poor use.

Work schedules A clearer understanding of tool use and related exposure identify’s individuals over exposed and re-structure of work rotas across projects, departments and working groups.

Measure e�ectiveness of controls Accurate and continuous monitoring is imperative to risk assess, deploy and measure the e�ectiveness of controls.

Dose-response data indicates that “10% of individuals will have �nger blanching symptoms after 12 years if exposed at the action value of 2.5m2 A(8) [100 HSE exposure points] or after 6 years if exposed at the limit value of 5m2 A(8) [400 HSE exposure points]”.

CollectEach operator uses a personalised RFID card containing their exposure action level thresholds to signout a HAVWEAR from a docking station at the start of their shift.

ProtectThe operator presses the button and holds their HAVWEAR next to a tool tag of each tool used to track tool use.

ReturnAt the end of a shift the operator

returns their HAVWEAR to a docking station to recharge and transmit data.

Any level of vibration exposure is unsafe so deploying controls as robustly as possible no matter the level of risk is essential. The Reactec Analytics Platform will support reduction activity to make what was once di�cult or inaccurate, reasonable and practical.
