SAFE-DISTANCE Quick Start Guide

This is a quick start guide to setup and use the system.
SAFE-DISTANCE is an added functionality to the Reactec system for monitoring exposure to Hand Arm Vibration (HAV).
SAFE-DISTANCE is enabled within your equipment through an update of the firmware within your equipment. The firmware update will be downloaded automatically through your equipment. For customers requesting early updates, Reactec will advise in advance when the firmware will be updated. To complete the update, you may be required to switch the power off to your docking stations or dual chargers and then power back up. After the 15th of June 2020, all firmware in the field will have received the required firmware updates.
SAFE-DISTANCE determines the proximity of other wearers based on the signal strength of Bluetooth radio signals from the other devices within its vicinity. The strength of the received signal increases as the distance to the other device decreases. Reactec have determined a threshold that indicates a proximity breach of typically 2m has occurred. All radio technology can be compromised by certain environmental conditions and in particular the position and orientation of the device antennas relative to the human body and each other. The human body can act as a barrier to radio signals. Therefore, certain configurations will affect the distance at which the signal strength threshold is met, leading to a variance as to when the alert is raised. The wrist worn nature of SAFE-DISTANCE however makes the device much less susceptible to the limitations outlined above. SAFE-DISTANCE’s ability to detect proximity of wearers is less hampered by body blocking than that of torso worn devices or smart phone-based apps which may be carried in a pocket and therefore has a greater likelihood of breach detection.
A HAVwear will determine that a breach has occurred should the signal strength indicate that the other unit is close, and the strength of signal is maintained for a configurable length of time. This approach avoids raising false alarms from devices being close for very short periods - such as briefly walking past colleagues.
It should be noted that any device used for social distancing based on Bluetooth is not an accurate or fool-proof measurement system and should only be considered an aid to support implementation of social distancing measures in the workplace.

Further support Workforce Social Distance Breaches Report
This report shows social distance close proximity events for the selected date range and allows the user to review the behaviour of all employees, work activity and tasks - Individual employee reports including the number and duration of unsafe distancing events.
Contact Tracing Report
When contact tracing is required identify who may be at risk. Use the report to drill into each operator’s contact list over a specified period of time.
Data will be recorded for any social distance close proximity events detected between two devices regardless of the which company owns the devices. This report may therefore show events with operators from different companies. If this happens, the report will anonymise operator name and group data.
