HAV safety is the goal

Vibration safety monitors are being
used to keep grounds staff free
from injuries at Everton football
club. By installing and using
Reactec’s HAVmeter technology,
the football club is able to
accurately gauge staff’s daily
exposure to vibration while using
equipment such as mowers,
strimmers and
hand-operated
blowers, to
ensure that they
do not exceed the
levels stipulated
by the HSE.

The system
provides every
employee with a
HAVmeter
device that is
programmed with their
individual vibration exposure
limits, which they attach to every
tool that they use during their shift.

The meters collate data about the
amount of vibration that workers
are exposed to and flash a warning
when the limits are reached.
