Hi all,

I have four tools:

1. RMS 12.5 Time to reach EAV 15 Mins
2. RMS 12.0 Time to reach EAV 15 Mins
3. RMS 10.0 Time to reach EAV 30 Mins
4. RMS 10.5 Time to reach EAV 30 Mins

I have input this information into the HSE Hav calculator and I get - Daily Exposure 4.7 (m/s2 A(8) and Total Exposure Points = 361

We have had the same assessment completed by an outside company and their Total Exposure Points = 1233

The only difference I can see on the assessment is the Partial & Daily Exposure m/s2 A(8) which are:

1. 3.10
2. 3.00
3. 1.80
4. 7.40
Total = 8.80

AND THE Individual & Total Exposure Duration:

1. 30 Mins
2. 30 Mins
3. 15 Mins
4. 4 Hrs
Total = 5.1/4 hrs

Can anyone explain what I have missed?

What times have you allocated to the user?

Is this the same time given by the outside company?

That might explain the difference?
