The HAVWEAR has been developed to simplify and lower the cost of monitoring HAV exposure to make personal exposure monitoring a reality and to help make the workplace a safer environment.
15 minute daily charge
The HAVWEAR only requires to be charged for 15 minutes each day and when fully charged lasts 3 days. The HAVWEAR Docking station is used to re-charge a HAVWEAR.
HAVWEAR Docking station transmits data online
The HAVWEAR Docking station charges 15 HAVWEAR devices at once. The Docking station also downloads and transmits the HAVWEAR data online to a website to view exposure reports.
Tracks tool use
The HAVWEAR tracks tool use to understand which tools are exposing operators to vibration exposure. Simply press the HAVWEAR button before placing it next to a HAVWEAR Tool Tag until a beep is sounded to notify it has connected with the tool. The HAVWEAR screen will then display the first 4 letters of the tool model.
The Tool Tags have sticky backs for easy attachment to tools and are programmable to contain a tools make, asset number, model and vibration magnitude. An RFID programmer is required to program the tool tags (Reactec can provide an RFID programming device).
Supports behavioural change
As a wearable solution the HAVWEAR can be personalised to alert the wearer of their personal exposure thresholds. Also by viewing and receiving alerts of increasing exposure, workers can better relate vibration risks with tool use in the field.
Each operator uses a personalised RFID card containing their exposure action level thresholds to sign-out a HAVWEAR from a docking station at the start of their shift. A CSCS card can be used an all cards can be programmed using an RFID programmer (Reactec can provide an RFID programming device).
Calculates exposure points from sensed or predefined tool vibration
The HAVWEAR is ground breaking due to its dual ability to calculate HAVs exposure points using either pre-defined tool vibration magnitude or from the wearers sensed vibration. The HAVWEAR will display exposure points based on either one method of calculation selected by the employer.
Tool exposure – HSE exposure points are calculated using a tools pre-defined average vibration magnitude.
Personal exposure – Real time wrist vibration experienced by the wearer is used to calculate personal exposure points.
Exposure threshold vibration & sound alerts
Sound and vibration alerts inform the wearer of incremental increases in exposure and action thresholds exceeded. When an operator‘s EAV is reached the HAVWEAR will simultaneously beep and vibrate for 2 seconds. As exposure increase so does the duration of the alerts. The duration between the EAV and ELV is split into three equal parts to further inform the wearer of incremental increases in exposure.
