Afternoon all,

How would you or do you track a person's exposure when using multiple tools with a vibration risk. The jobs being carried out vary from day to day and different tools will be used for different days for varying lengths of time. The workers pick up one tool for a few minutes and then switch to another.

What would be the best way to manage exposure levels?

Thank you

The HSE calculator allows for six simultaneous entries http://www.hse.gov.uk/vibration/hav/vibrationcalc.htm

to derive a daily employee value. We adapted the spreadsheet to allow input of 10 consecutive tool processes.

You can use a paper version and ask the guys to record thier trigger time...it is/ can be problematic....or an electronic system like HAVI https://www.thehavi.com/
