HAVS Monitoring for Workplace Safety

Hand-Arm Vibration Monitoring measures the vibration magnitude emitted by individual tools to assess employee exposure. Using accelerometers attached to tools or the palm, we capture movement across the X, Y, and Z axes, calculate vibration magnitude in m/s², and combine this with trigger time to determine the Dose of Vibration.

Why It Matters

The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations sets:

• First action level: 2.5 m/s²
• Upper limit: 5 m/s²
• No-effect level: 1 m/s²

Exceeding these limits can lead to Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) — irreversible conditions that impact health and productivity.

How Our HAVS Monitoring Works

• On-Tool Vibration Measurement
  Using HSE-recommended accelerometers and dose monitors.
• Trigger Time Analysis
  Accurate calculation of daily exposure levels.
• Comprehensive Reporting
  Practical control measures and an actionable compliance plan.
• Integrated Ergonomic Assessment
  We go beyond vibration — assessing workstation design, grip force, and posture to reduce musculoskeletal risk.
