Handheld tool gets the measure of vibration
Leading vibration reduction specialist Reactec has been appointed exclusive UK distributor for the RT440 handheld vibration measurement tool.
The system has been designed and developed based on the feedback from major global construction companies, public bodies and small, local industries trying to control and eliminate the risks of hand arm vibration exposure.
The HAVmeter is a pager-like device carried by an employee throughout their working day.
The device is attached to any tool being used and monitors and records the worker's hand arm vibration exposure.
The HAVmeter will alert employees when they are approaching their legal vibration exposure limit via a traffic light system.
Individual exposure records are automatically downloaded to the basestation and can be used to report on HAV policies/exposures at the touch of a button, removing the need for manual processing of HAV records and the inevitable mountains of paperwork.
Additional valuable information such as tool usage and details of tools producing abnormal or excessive amounts of vibration, is also recorded.
Following two years of field testing the system has successfully been implemented by numerous large companies across a range of industries including construction, ship building and the automotive sector.
