Setting up your HAVi Measuring Device
The HAVi Is Designed To Measure Actual Exposure To Vibration And Help Reduce The Risk Of Developing HAVS.
1. To switch the unit on press and hold the red and white buttons for 5 seconds, then release and the light will begin to flash.
2. Press the white button to change the vibration magnitude.
3. Press the red button to lock the digit and move on to the next.
4. If you’re using a HAVi HD case, slot the device into the casing, making sure the screen is clearly visible.
5. To securely fix your HAVi to a tool, use the velcro strap or cable ties provided.
6. You’re now ready to start monitoring your vibration.
Do you need to use vibratory tools?
If yes, are the tools serviced, maintained and fitted with accessories or inserts in good condition.
Do you know how to reduce your exposure?
Choose the most appropriate low vibration tool. Keep your hands warm, wear gloves, stop smoking, grip tools lightly.
Understanding the exposure values (EAV/ELV)
Use the HAVi to monitor your time and exposure:
-
Exposure Action Value (EAV) - 100 points: When this value (100pts) is reached, employers should consider administrative or engineering controls to lower the risk.
-
Exposure Limit Value (ELV) - 400 points: This is the maximum daily exposure limit. If the HAVi exceeds this value (400pts), it means the safe limit has been exceeded, and controls must be implemented immediately to reduce exposure.
