Guide to HAVS Risk Assessments

Experience the HAVSPRO gold standard

There are significant differences between the various methods and strategies for managing the risk of HAVS and whole body vibration. The HAVSPRO system offers an alternative to using assumed vibration data by continuously measuring and monitoring vibration magnitude, as it is experienced by the operative in real-time.

This is truly the Gold Standard in HAVS risk management…

Standard compliance often consists of paper-based risk assessments which compile averaged tool vibration data. It may also contain observational concerns recorded by an external auditor or consultant, but this will not record the variation inherent in every job and offers little more than safety guidance and isn’t protecting against HAVS.

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.
