Technology is readily available to simplify the assessment of HAV risk and support the identification of effective controls such as that evaluated by the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM). The IOM have published a study on how Reactec’s digital HAVwear system is easy to use and collects data which can be readily monitored over extended periods.
The IOM report goes onto state that, as the HAVwear system assesses vibration exposure during the entire use of the tool, it may therefore be more accurate than the use of trigger times and manufacturer’s data or other static data sources compiled for a limited range of tool activity.
Reactec believe HAV exposure data can be measured in a practical way so stakeholders are in a much better position to manage their risk based on actual data instead of estimations plus help identify HAVS risk which may otherwise be undetected.
