Redefining vibration safety in the workplace

Designed to measure both hand-arm and whole-body vibration, Triax delivers a powerful combination of measurement accuracy, regulatory compliance, user simplicity and ecosystem support. 

Why vibration exposure matters

Repeated vibration exposure isn’t just uncomfortable, it can lead to debilitating conditions like Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and musculoskeletal injury. Regulatory frameworks such as the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations (2005) and standards like BS8041 demand employers actively measure, evaluate, and control these hazards before they harm workers. Triax steps in as a tool built to deliver on both fronts.

Measurement that matters

At its core, Triax is designed to produce data you can trust:

• Vector sum of triaxial vibration (X, Y, and Z axes) in m/s2 covering every direction your tools and equipment can shake you.
• HSE exposure points and realtime notifications of peak or excessive exposure.
• A(8) daily vibration values calculated over a standard eight-hour day; the gold standard for regulatory assessments.

These features ensure you don’t just collect numbers, you gather actionable insights that speak directly to both health risks and compliance needs, empowering occupational health teams to make the case for intervention or equipment change.

Simplicity meets durability

One of Triax’s standout qualities is its balance of design simplicity and industrial toughness:

• User-friendly interface lets operators switch between hand-arm and whole-body settings, change sensors easily, and immediately view exposure metrics, all without delving into complex menus.
• Auto-detectable sensor system allows quick attachment and measurement, reducing setup time while ensuring consistency and accuracy.
• Rugged build and reliable battery to ensure Triax stays operational through tough conditions – ideal for construction, agriculture, transport, and other high-vibration environments.

This kind of user-centred design reduces unrecorded exposure events and encourages higher compliance in frontline teams – key to real protective outcomes. 

Integrated, licence-free reporting

An instrument like this is only as useful as its data ecosystem, and the team at Cirrus Research knows that. Bundled with every Triax meter is the licence-free Triax Analysis Pro software package. This platform allows you to:

• Import and visualise measurement data.
• Automatically calculate daily exposures for hand-arm and whole-body vibration.
• Generate complaint reports.

Why emphasise “licencefree”? In many compliance systems the hidden recurring cost of software tokens or access subscriptions can balloon project budgets. Cirrus Research removes that barrier, allowing safety professionals to quickly deploy systems at scale and maximize ROI.

Professional support and training

Technical capability doesn’t simply end at the product. Cirrus Research is rolling out an online training programme tailored to the Triax, covering setup, measurement best practices, data analysis, and interpretation. This kind of investment in user education helps reduce misinterpretation of results and fosters a safety culture rooted in real data.

Real‑world impact

Such tools support interventions that save limbs, prevent disability, and reduce insurer payouts—and while a device like Triax may seem niche, its ability to transform vibration management is powerful:

• Cost savings: Fewer lost workdays and fewer compensation claims.
• Regulatory resilience: Robust documentation reduces enforcement or inspection risks.
• Worker wellbeing: Workers see that their health is monitored proactively, building trust and reducing stress.

Conclusion

The Triax Human Vibration Meter isn’t just a new tool, it’s a signal of a mature approach to vibration risk. By blending accuracy, compliance, design simplicity, and ecosystem support, Cirrus Research offers a full cycle solution for a longstanding occupational challenge. In doing so, Triax empowers health and safety professionals to move from reactive compliance to proactive protection, raising standards across sectors. 

If you’re serious about vibration risk, this is the kind of device that ought to be on your team’s toolkit now.
