HAVWEAR
Personal HAV protection
Simple 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 HAVS risk exposure points to inform the wearer of their
exposure to vibration. Sound and vibration alerts also inform
the wearer of incremental increases in HAVs risk exposure
and action thresholds exceeded.
You choose how to monitor?
The HAVWEAR is ground breaking due to its ability to
calculate and display HAVs exposure points using either
pre-defined tool vibration magnitude or the vibration
magnitude sensed on the wearer’s wrist.
Tool Exposure Points (TEP)
HSE exposure points are calculated using a tools pre-defined
average vibration magnitude.
Sensed Exposure Points (SEP)
The HAVwear has an ability to determine the vibration magnitude sensed at the point to which the HAVwear is attached to
the wrist. The HAVwear uses the HSE methodology to calculate
Sensed Exposure Points based on the length of time a tool is in
use and the vibration level sensed by the HAVwear during use.
Whichever option you use, both TEP & SEP data are recorded
by the HAVWEAR and stored in the Analytics online reporting
platform to be reviewed and compared as required. The
employer chooses which type of data is displayed by the
HAVWEAR and the reports viewed by selected report users.
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 RFID tool tag is programmed with tool information and communicates with the HAVWEAR to determine tool
information.
Choose for the HAVWEAR to display either
SEP or TEP HAVs risk exposure.

uncertainty on true exposure and help expedite the mitigation of HAVS risks.
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 unpredicatability of most work processes across sectors from landscaping to engineering.
HAVWEAR is part of the Reactec Analytics Platform system
which automates the whole process from calculating HSE
exposure points in the field 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.
It is also widely accepted that manual assessments of
exposure in the workplace, following regulations, will have a
high level of uncertainty. This can influence actions to reduce
risk as well as assessing their effectiveness at a later date.
Hence digital monitoring is critical to reduce this significant

How it works

Collect
Protect
Each 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.
3
The operator presses the button and
holds their HAVWEAR next to a tool
tag of each tool used to track tool
use.
Return
At the end of a shift the operator
returns their HAVWEAR to a docking
station to recharge and transmit data.

Hand Arm Vibration
Syndrome (HAVS)
Dose-response data indicates that “10% of individuals will
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]”.
“Exposure below the Action Value
cannot be considered safe...” (HSE)
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
reasonable and practical.
