Prevent Vibration Overexposure – Comply with ACGIH TLVs
Upgrade to Worker Exposure Monitoring Instead
Protect workers and your bottom line – with ACGIH-aligned HAVS monitoring from spacebands wearables.
spacebands goes further. Instead of relying on one-off tool readings, manual logs and estimated exposure times, our wearable HAVS monitoring system tracks worker vibration exposure throughout the shift.
It is HAVS management on autopilot.
personal exposure monitoring
From HAVS Meter Readings to Real Worker Exposure Data
The device is a wearable wristband that uses an accelerometer to calculate when users are approaching an TLV (Threshold Limit Value Value).
spacebands helps close that gap.
Workers wear the device during the day. The system tracks vibration exposure, alerts workers before limits are reached and creates simple reports for managers.
No paper logs. No chasing tool use records. No guesswork.

Why Upgrade From a Manual HAVS Meter?
A HAVS meter is useful for testing tools. But most HAVS risk comes from how tools are actually used across a working day.
spacebands helps you manage that exposure in real time.
- Track hand arm vibration exposure throughout the shift
- Alert workers before EAV and ELV thresholds are reached
- Reduce reliance on manual tool logs and estimated usage times
- View exposure data by worker, team or site
- Create audit-ready HAVS reports
- Support HAVS risk assessments with real-world exposure records
- Save admin time for health and safety teams
HAVS Meter vs spacebands
Traditional HAV Meters vs spacebands
A HAV vibration meter is typically used to measure vibration magnitude from a tool or process. This can support tool testing, risk assessments and equipment checks.
But a meter reading still needs to be combined with accurate usage time to estimate a worker’s daily exposure.
That is where many businesses struggle.
spacebands tracks worker exposure automatically using wearable technology. It helps health and safety teams understand how much vibration exposure workers are receiving during real tasks, not just what a tool measured during a test.
The result is a clearer picture of HAVS risk across your workforce.
are your workers overexposed?
Built for Health and Safety Teams Managing HAVS Risk
If your team is searching for a HAVS meter, hand arm vibration meter, vibration meter for HAVS or HAVS testing equipment, you are probably trying to answer one important question:
How do we prove our workers are not being overexposed?
spacebands helps answer that question with live exposure tracking, worker alerts and simple reporting.
It is designed for businesses that need more than a one-off vibration measurement. It is designed for ongoing HAVS exposure management.
real-time exposure tracking
Track Exposure Before It Becomes a Problem
Workers receive real-time alerts as exposure increases, helping them take action before daily limits are exceeded.
Managers can view exposure data in the dashboard and identify workers, teams or tasks that may need attention.
This makes it easier to spot patterns, reduce risk and act before HAVS exposure becomes a claims, compliance or enforcement issue.
havs on autopilot
Less Admin Than Manual HAVS Records
Manual HAVS records are only as accurate as the information going into them.
If workers forget to log tool use, estimate time incorrectly or use several tools in one day, records can quickly become unreliable.
spacebands reduces the admin burden by automatically recording exposure data and turning it into clear reports.
That means less chasing, fewer spreadsheets and more confidence in your HAVS records. Instead of asking workers to remember every tool, every task and every usage time, you get real exposure data from the working day.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Testimonials
spacebands is helping Health & Safety managers around the world reduce hand arm vibration exposure while providing a paper trail of exposure levels.
Nick S
Senior H&S Manager
spacebands has completely changed how we manage hand arm vibration exposure. Instead of chasing bits of paper and one-off HAVS meter readings, the HAVS monitoring watch gives us real-time A(8) data for every operator. We can see who is approaching EAV/ELV and take action before we breach our HSE limits.
Robert M
Health & Safety Manager
We used to rely on a traditional HAVS meter and manual logs. It was slow, reactive, and often out of date. With spacebands’ HAVS monitor, exposure is tracked automatically across all tools. The dashboard gives us clear evidence for audits and has made HAVS compliance far easier to manage day to day.
Chris P
Plant Manager
The biggest win for us was visibility. The HAVS wearable monitor showed which tasks were really driving vibration exposure, not just what we assumed from risk assessments. That’s helped us reorganise work, rotate staff more intelligently, and reduce the risk of HAVS claims without slowing the job down.
David N
Site Manager
spacebands is a smarter alternative to a traditional HAVS meter. The team just wears the HAVS watch and it tracks their points and A(8) automatically. No tagging, no spreadsheets, no chasing readings. It’s given us confidence that we’re controlling hand arm vibration exposure properly and protecting our people.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
spacebands are helping Health & Safety managers around the world reduce accidents, injuries and legal claims
Is staying beneath the exposure level (TLV) sufficient for compliance?
Not always. While staying below the ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of 2.5 m/s² (action level) and 5.0 m/s² (limit level) is considered best practice, compliance involves more than just the numbers.
Employers are also expected to:
- Assess vibration risks
- Document exposure levels
- Provide training
- Take action to reduce exposure where possible
Regulators may cite employers under the General Duty Clause if workers are exposed to known hazards—even when no specific exposure law exists.
So, while staying beneath TLVs is a great start, full compliance means showing you’re actively monitoring, managing, and reducing vibration exposure — and that’s exactly what spacebands helps you do.
Does spacebands help with HAVS risk assessments?
Yes. spacebands provides worker exposure data that can support HAVS risk assessments, reviews and internal reporting.
Who is spacebands for?
spacebands is designed for health and safety teams managing workers who use vibrating tools in industries such as construction, manufacturing, rail, utilities, highways, automotive repair and facilities management.
Can spacebands replace manual HAVS logs?
spacebands can reduce reliance on manual HAVS logs by automatically tracking worker exposure and creating reports. This helps health and safety teams spend less time chasing records and more time managing risk.
spacebands also monitor for loud noise exposure in addition to hand arm vibration.
What is the difference between a HAVS meter and HAVS monitoring?
A Hand-Arm Vibration monitoring device is a tool used to measure the level of vibration emitted by tools and equipment used by workers, which can help to identify the risk of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS).
HAV devices can help employers to identify the risk of HAVS and implement appropriate preventive measures.
