The risk of personal injury from exposure to high levels of vibration is well documented. In particular, high levels of hand-arm vibration from powered hand tools are known to cause Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), otherwise known as Vibration White Finger (VWF) disease or Reynaud's Sydnrome of Occupational Origin. Left unchecked and untreated, serious compensable injury including amputation of the fingertips could result.
Various means for measuring the vibration of tools used in Construction, Manufacturing, Mining and other industrial operations have been tried, but all have required the use of cable-mounted sensors being placed on the tool, often in close proximity to rotating or reciprocating parts - a possible safety hazard in and of itself! Too often, this approach only allows for short sample times, and also affects the work being performed, skewing the results.
Now, with VibTrack HAV™ Personal Vibration Dosimeters, you can easily obtain accurate vibration exposure data, throughout the workday on many workers, reliably and conveniently, with minimal disruption to the subject under test.
VibTrack HAV™ is part of a system that gives complete control over dosimeter deployment sampling and reporting processes, including who will be tested on any given day, and generates management-ready reports and analysis. VibTrack HAV™ is the key to reducing liability from HAVS. |
