The HAVmeter from Reactec
manages employees’ exposure
to hand arm vibration (HAV)
and provides power tool users
with a running total of their
vibration points exposure
throughout the day, giving a
warning (using a traffic lights
system) before high exposure
levels are reached.

Already in use by over 170
organisations throughout the UK, the
HAVmeter is a small durable device
with no external buttons or switches
to ensure ruggedness, ease of use and
to make the device tamper-proof. It
magnetically attaches to hand held
power tools via colour-coded tool
tags and is returned at the end of the
day to the basestation for recharging,
and automatic downloading of
exposure records.

The HAVmeter
incorporates RFID
technology and inbuilt
accelerometers. When
attached to a tool tag
the device instantly
knows what tool it is
connected to and the
average vibration level
associated with that tool.
