Noise Monitors

We have teamed up with experienced noise measurement experts to integrate their precision sensor technology into our ecosystem with automatic live data capture and cloud-based analytics to take the guesswork out of workplace noise monitoring.

We offer two types of noise dosebadge to enable you to make a reliable, real time assessment of your workers' daily personal exposure:

Pambry PED 0828 compact noise dosebadge with real-time feedback to the worker of their accumulated daily exposure.
Cirrus doseBadge5, with octave band measurements for the ultimate occupational noise measurements in a rugged and robust easy to use form factor.

An independent report by the IOM on the validity of the data produced by Reactec’s HAVwear to inform a suitable and sufficient risk assessment

Whitepaper

An independent report by the IOM on the validity of the data produced by Reactec’s HAVwear to inform a suitable and sufficient risk assessment

The Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) was requested by Reactec to conduct an independent review of data collected using the HAVwear system and subsequently provided a report in January 2018.

HAVwear collects two types of assessment data to be viewed online:

It uses a tools pre-defined vibration magnitude and length of time the tool is in use to calculate exposure points in accordance with The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 and HSE guidance. Reactec name this type of exposure points as “Tool Exposure Points” (TEP).

It also determines the vibration transmitted to the tool wearer’s wrist and mathematically corrects for the energy loss between the wrist and the tool grip point. The HAVwear uses this determined vibration magnitude and the length of time the tool is in use to calculate exposure points relating to real-time vibration exposure experienced by the wearer. Reactec name this type of exposure points as “Sensed Exposure Points” (SEP).

The purpose of the report was to demonstrate if HAVwear’s SEP data can be used: (1) to inform a suitable and sufficient risk assessment; and (2) in the development of risk reduction control measures for HAVS

Determination of hand-transmitted vibration risk on the human.

Whitepaper

Determination of hand-transmitted vibration risk on the human.

Objective

The purpose of this paper is to examine the eﬀectiveness of the proposed consideration for hand transmitted vibration measurement on the human.

Method

To obtain the temporary threshold shift (TTS) in the ﬁngertip vibrotactile perception threshold, the Vibrotactile perception thresholds were measured before and after the subjects were exposed to hand-transmitted vibration from the hand-held tool. The vibration magnitude has been measured by using conventional vibration measurement on the tool and by using the proposed consideration vibration on the human simultaneously.

Results

The proposed hand-transmitted vibration measurement on the subject was proportional with increasing TTS. In contrast the data from conventional vibration measurement on the tool shows a relatively constant vibration level while TTS increases within a subject group.

Conclusion

The proposed measurement method of hand-transmitted vibration on the subject captures at least some of the eﬀects off actors relating to the human interaction with the tool identiﬁed within Annex D of the ISO 5349-1 standard. The eﬀectiveness of the proposed hand-transmitted vibration measurement consideration on the human for improved understanding of tool vibration exposure has been shown.

HAVwear

Unique ability to determine HAV exposure by trigger time & real-life exposure risk

1. Following regulations and latest HSE guidance use a HAVwear as a tool timer with a pre-defined vibration.

2. The HAVWEAR watch has the revolutionary ability to provide a more representative assessment of vibration risk - based on the vibration transmitted to the tool user.

+ Real-time calculation and display of personal HAV daily exposure points.

+ Operator alerted when personal EAV and ELV exposure values are exceeded.
