What's inside
Before investing in HAV monitoring technology, understand the common pitfalls that undermine even the best solutions. This guide reveals the five critical mistakes organisations make when managing HAV risk - and how to address each one:
- Relying on manufacturer vibration data instead of real-world measurements
- Treating monitoring as a one-time exercise that quickly becomes outdated
- Paper-based recording systems costing £558 per operator annually
- Monitoring without acting on the data you collect
- Ignoring the multi-risk picture that affects worker health
The R-Link smartwatch is accessible, affordable technology for reliable and accurate HAV monitoring
- Achieve regulatory compliance
- Avoid guesswork and manual record keeping
- Get more from your investment into HAV monitoring
Get more from your HAV monitoring efforts
Across the UK, teams are making real efforts to manage their employees’ HAV exposure and meet their regulatory requirements through the use of exposure monitoring.
But traditional approaches to monitoring hand-arm vibration – including manual record keeping, in-house apps for tracking tool usage, and supervised risk assessments – are labour intensive, error-prone, and costly.
And these approaches, which are based on questionable data and provide little evidence of action, are unlikely to achieve compliance.
