The Reactec Analytics Platform uses the HAVMETER device to continuously monitor workers' vibration exposure in real-time and generate reports to help manage HAVS risk. The platform provides managers with accurate exposure data, tool usage reports, and alerts to support proactive risk reduction through alternative work methods, equipment selection, maintenance planning, and work scheduling. It allows all duty holders to remain actively involved in daily and long-term risk management in compliance with HSE regulations.

1. Inform, protect and deploy resources and assets to cost effectively manage HAVS and tools

2. Better protect
workers from HAVS
The Reactec Analytics Platform is
a mobile tracking and manage-
ment solution, which includes
the HAVMETER, to better
protect employees from Hand
ArmVibrationexposure.

Reducesuncertaintyofexposure
The Reactec Analytics Platform removes the uncertainty of tool use by
tracking exact trigger time of tools used and by which operators. A
HAVMETER canalsobepersonalisedtosupportoperatorsonreduced
points due to medical issues. The HAVMETER measures variations in
tool vibration magnitudes across work schedules and operators to help
identifyamorerepresentativerisk,poortoolperformanceandutilisation.
Streamlining vibration monitoring means more
time to reduce exposure
The HAVmeter completely automates the entire monitoring and
reporting process. With easy access to operator exposure level
records and tool usage, managers can utilise their time to proac-
tively manage HAVs exposure risk with more accuracy and
efficiency than a manual system.
Continuous monitoring for
continuous improvement
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 was once
difficult or inaccurate, reasonable and practical.
- Continuous exposure monitoring to track
all types of work activity.
- Greater accuracy of exposure monitoring &
supports reduced worker activity.
- Vibration trend to highlight increases in
exposure risk due to poor tool use or
performance.
- Supervisor rapid intervention support with
emailed reports & alerts.

More effectively
support HSE regulations
A unique platform to better
support HSE regulations
The HAVMETER encourages operators to become
pro-active, actively looking for tool/job rotation or
better planning of shifts etc. Providing easier access to
exposure reports helps increase awareness through-
out a company of the measure of controls and activi-
ties to revise them. The reports also provide greater
accuracy and insight to aid designing out exposure
through work and tool planning.
- More accurate assessment of exposure
- Unique information to help deploy the most
effective measure of controls
- Helps educate and involves all duty holders
- Measure the effectiveness of controls to aid
design changes
Reports can be viewed online or automatically received by email
of operator daily exposure levels and tool usage to assess worker
activity and threshold breaches. Alerts can also be sent when
operators breach an action threshold to support proactive HAVs
management.
Reactec Analytics reports support risk
reduction activity
Alternative work methods
The reports more accurately identify areas of risk and where to
look for alternative work methods to eliminate or reduce exposure
to vibration.
Equipment selection
Tool usage reports help select or allocate the most suitable equip-
ment for tasks. Compare tool vibration magnitudes of tools used
to help select the lowest vibration tools that are suitable and can
do the work efficiently.
Maintenance & purchasing policy for replacing old plant
The reports summarise which make and model of tools contribute
the most in terms of vibration exposure points and how long tools
has been used. This can help maintenance scheduling, plan
replacements and identify poor tool use.
Work schedules
A clear understanding of tool use helps plan work to avoid
individuals being exposed to vibration for long continuous
periods .View employee exposure to vibration and the related HSE
exposure points across projects, departments and working
groups.
Measure effectiveness of controls
Accurate and continuous monitoring is imperative to risk assess,
deploy and measure the effectiveness of controls. To also more
easily check a programme of controls is being carried out by
managers and employees.

Streamlines and simplifies the HAVs monitoring process, reduces
human error and is auditable.
Accuarate and informative
The HAVMETER’s visual“trafficlight”HAVlevelindicatoristailoredto
an operators daily exposure thresholds and educates operators on tool
exposure. The online Reactec Analytics reports also simplifies managing
HAVsexposurerisk.
Secure
Reports are securely hosted and supported by Reactec with daily
backups.
No additional IT required
Only a computer and internet connection required to view
Analytic reports 24/7.
24/7 reports
Information is tamper proof and companies can centrally
manage employee online access to view specific or company-
wide reports.
Robust and industry tested
6 years industry tried and tested to withstand all working
environments and conditions.
Supporting 40,000+
UK tool operators
Instant access to accurate,
historical & auditable data
Defending a HAVS related claim requires documenta-
tion of a claimant’s exposure based on historical tool
usage and work history. Employers who have reduced
exposure risk, as low as reasonably practical, can still
find this process problematic due to lack of conclusive
exposure records.
- Continuous monitoring provides conclusive
exposure records.
- 1 click download of reports reduces
preparation time and paper work.
- Auditable & accurate data provides a more
robust defence.
- Reduced risk helps secure lowest insurance
premiums.
Provide a robust defence
against litigation

5. How it works - Track & manage HAVS risk
The use of vibrating tools can cause a range of conditions collec-
tively known as Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome or HAVS for short.
All employers have a legal obligation to conduct;
- Exposure assessment,
- Exposure reduction,
- Health monitoring,
- Information and training.
Dose-response data indicates that
“10% of individuals will have finger
blanching symptoms after 12 years
if exposed at 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)
- 2 million UK workers exposed to high levels*
- 300,000 suffering advanced stages*
- You can develop HAVS within 6 months.
- 50% of all reported Occupational industrial
diseases are HAVS related (HSE 2012)
- There is NO cure for HAVS - only prevention

Collect

alised RFID card to signout a
HAVMETER from a Basestation
at the start of their shift.

Connect
The operative connects their
HAVMETER to tools magneti-
cally during their shift. The
HAVmeter calculates and
displays in realtime the HSE
points exposure and the LEDs
indicate action levels reached.
Manage
From head office to remote locations only an internet connection and
computer are required to view the online reports. Companies can
centrally manage employee online access to view specific or company
wide reports. This secure access keeps team leaders and managers
informed of their teams’HAV risk by receiving auto alerts if an operator
exceeds personal daily exposure limits.
Return
At the end of a shift the
HAVMETER is returned to a
Basestation where it begins
recharging and downloads
data onto the Basestation.
Transmit
TheCommunications(Comms)
module sends the Basestation
data to the cloud based
reports.

6. “An accurate and cost-effective means of
controlling and recording vibration exposure.”
Wood Group PSN,
Ron Martin, Lead HSE Advisor,
“The devices give us a valuable monitoring
system that makes sure we know who is working
with what machinery and for how long.”
BAM Nuttall, Roy Jackson,
Senior Safety Advisor
“It’s very difficult to quantify what sort of amount
of exposure an individual has had - the HAVmeter
is the perfect solution.”
Balfour Beatty Regional Civil Engineering,
Brian Hume, Health & Safety Manager
“Before the HAVmeter we relied on manual input with a
guy basically using his memory at the end of the day for
the time that he has spent using vibratory tools. With the
HAVmeter, we have seen an accurate, user friendly piece
of kit which allows us to manage HAV more easily. We
have been able to make major cost savings through
cutting out administrative costs.”
AMEY, George Kennedy,
Roads Manager
“There has been nothing but positive feedback from our employees, the
HAVmeters are extremely easy to use and many of them feel
the device has made their working life easier.”
Aggregate Industries - Gordon Dick, Site Manager “We now have a robust defence in place to
protect us against any claims.”
