HAV monitoring

Edinburgh-based Reactec has
achieved £1 million worth of sales of
its safety devices to UK hire firms.

The company has seen a dramatic
increase in the number of sales for its
innovative HAVmeters over the past
12 months, as more hire companies
have identified the devices as
industry-standard safety equipment.

The HAVmeter is a small, easy to
use device that is used to monitor
exposure to hand arm vibration
among workers using hand-held
tools.

The firm is hoping to see sales
increase further throughout 2011, as
hire companies continue to purchase
the technology and promote it as the
leading safety device of choice to
reduce exposure to Hand Arm
Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) across
the UK.
