HEALTH & SAFTEY INNOVATION
Protect our team with HAVwear & Reactec Analytics
Hand Arm Vibration (HAV) is a serious problem, in fact, 2 million UK workers are exposed to high levels of it. There are 300,000 workers suffering advanced stages and HAVS can develop within 6 months.
10% of employees exposed at the exposure action level will contract HAVS within 12 years or within 6 years if exposed to the exposure limit level set by the HSE.
At Chaffin works we take our people’s health & wellbeing seriously.
We have invested over £30k implementing HAVwear & Reactec Analytics.
HAVwear & Reactec Analytics captures real-time, personal exposure to HAV risk across our workforce, reducing the guess work of (HAV) exposure risk assessments to design and monitor the most effective controls.
