WHITEPAPER: Protecting Against HAVS, A Guide For Employers
Protecting against HAVS is often a headache for employers. They know they have a moral and legal obligation to protect workers but where do they start?
We’ve answered this and many other questions we are often asked by employers looking for advice and guidance on how to manage the risk of vibration exposure so we’ve put together this whitepaper to help #MakeHAVShistory.

Experience the HAVSPRO gold standard
The complete HAVSPRO system has been designed to address the considerable deficiencies
in existing methods for controlling vibration exposure and popular ‘tool timer’ measurement
devices, to provide a gold standard forward-thinking sophisticated yet simple solution.
Industry standard bronze
Standard compliance is often no more than paper-based risk assessments which compile the averaged tool vibration data. It may also contain observational concerns recorded by an external auditor or consultant, but this route will not naturally record the variation inherent in every job and offers little more than safety guidance and isn't protecting against HAVS.
Industry standard silver
A combination of tool and wrist-mounted devices can produce a clearer picture of individual vibration exposure, but these measurements are usually calculated according to samples of vibration data supplied through previously measured data (which is only accurate at the exact point of capture) or HSE and various other libraries of tool vibration data all of which vary widely and leave a large and potentially high-risk margin of error.
Gold Standard
HAVSPRO provides a personal vibration measuring device which clips on and off each tool, accumulating real-time data for each operator, giving highly accurate real time alerts and simultaneously sending detailed information to be centrally collated for customised reports and control guidance.
HAVSPRO is the only device that accurately measures vibration levels as the individual experiences them, and is therefore, truly protecting against HAVS.
Shocking new Construction industry H&S stats!
The latest report from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) on British construction reveals concerning statistics: in the 2022/23 period, 69,000 workers suffered from work-related ill health, while 53,000 experienced non-fatal injuries.
