PERSONAL HAVS MONITORING
Know Each Worker’s Exposure Before Limits Are Reached
spacebands monitors vibration exposure as work happens. Each wearable automatically calculates the worker’s daily A(8) and HAV points, then alerts them as they approach the Exposure Action Value or Exposure Limit Value.
Exposure data uploads to the spacebands dashboard, where health and safety teams can review results by worker and date, identify patterns and download records for reporting, audits or investigations.
There is no tool tagging, no manual trigger-time recording and no need to piece together exposure using spreadsheets.
FROM ALERTS TO ACTION
Turn HAVS exposure alerts into preventative action
spacebands goes beyond passive exposure recording, helping workers and H&S teams act on risk as it develops.
- Warn workers in real time
On-device EAV and ELV warnings support immediate action. - Prompt management intervention
Exposure events create clear follow-up actions for the H&S team. - Record and improve
Add notes, document interventions and identify recurring exposure patterns.
Together, this creates a clear path from exposure warning to documented action, turning HAVS data into safer working practices.
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.
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.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
spacebands are helping Health & Safety managers around the world reduce accidents, injuries and legal claims
How does spacebands calculate daily A(8) and HAV points?
Each spacebands wearable uses a triaxial accelerometer to measure vibration exposure while tools are being used. It records the duration and severity of exposure, then automatically calculates the worker’s daily A(8) value and HAV points.
Do spacebands keep records for our insurance company?
All HAVS information is saved on each wearable device and uploaded to the analytics dashboard when the device is charged. Information is saved on the dashboard over time and you can look back at different date ranges and share this with your insurance company - only if you would like to do so!
How accurate is wearable HAVS monitoring?
spacebands uses a triaxial accelerometer and recognised HAVS exposure calculations to support day-to-day personal monitoring. It provides a consistent view of how exposure accumulates across real work, tools and tasks.
Can exposure records be downloaded for audits or investigations?
Yes. Exposure data is uploaded to the spacebands dashboard, where authorised users can review results by worker and date, monitor trends and export records in CSV or PDF format.
Does spacebands require workers to tag tools?
No. Workers simply wear the device throughout their shift. There is no need to scan, select or manually associate individual tools, making the system easier to use consistently across changing tools and tasks.
What happens when a worker approaches the EAV or ELV?
The wearable can alert the worker using vibration, light or sound as their exposure approaches configured limits. This allows supervisors and workers to take action during the shift, such as stopping work, rotating tasks or changing equipment.
Does spacebands make my company compliant with HAVS regulations?
spacebands supports compliance by providing personal exposure data, real-time warnings and downloadable records. It should form part of a wider HAVS management programme that includes risk assessments, exposure controls, training, tool maintenance and health surveillance.
How much does spacebands HAVS monitoring cost?
Pricing starts from £25 per wearable per month on a 36-month subscription, with a minimum order of five devices. Setup, onboarding, dashboard access and ongoing support are included.
