PRODUCT BENEFITS

Get a simple overview with our HAVS Monitoring Watch

spacebands’ HAVS monitoring watch is a lightweight wristband that tracks vibration exposure in real time. It automatically alerts workers as they approach their EAV (Exposure Action Value) or ELV (Exposure Limit Value), helping teams stay within HSE limits.

Unlike manual logs or outdated hand arm vibration meters, our HAVS wrist monitor gives clear exposure data through an easy-to-use dashboard — broken down into low, medium, high, and severe thresholds.

This HAVS monitoring device makes compliance simple, reduces risk of HAVS claims, and keeps your workforce safe without complicated systems.

Nick S

Senior H&S Manager

spacebands have transformed the way we control exposure to vibration. In just a year of use we have reduced exposure by close to 80%. And our production has become far more engaged in proactive safety.
I’d recommend spacebands to any company that takes safety seriously.

Robert M

Health & Safety Manager

Since introducing spacebands, we’ve seen a huge improvement in how we manage hand–arm vibration exposure.
Our monitoring is now instant and accurate, and we’ve significantly reduced the risk of overexposure. The team is also more aware of safe working limits, which has boosted our overall safety culture.

Chris P

Plant Manager

We had previously used a different HAVs wearable, but they were sitting on a shelf gathering dust because our team didn't have the time for tool tagging.
With spacebands, they just have to be wearing the wearable and it records daily exposure.

David N

Site Manager

spacebands gave us the ability to measure various levels of exposure, various tools and various tasks without having to recalibrate or recalculate; or most importantly having a negative effect on our production.    
We looked at a few other options but no others that we saw came with that level of flexibility.

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 (EAV/ELV) sufficient for compliance?

While staying below the EAV/ELV is a crucial step in ensuring worker safety, it doesn't guarantee complete compliance with occupational health and safety regulations.

Other factors that need to be considered include:
Risk assessment, PPE and emergency procedures.

spacebands HAVS feature is a great solution for monitoring exposure levels but alone it does not guarantee HSE compliance.

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!

Why does my company need a HAV monitoring device?

A HAV monitoring device can help your company to protect the health and safety of workers who use vibrating tools and equipment, comply with health and safety regulations, prevent work-related injuries and illnesses, and reduce workers' compensation costs.

Do you offer HAVS watch hire?

We provide subscription pricing per wearable device. This is to ensure users are upgraded to the latest firmware automatically. We have a range of subscription lengths available - get in touch for more info.

Should workers be constantly monitored for HAVS when using machinery or equipment?

While regular monitoring for HAVS is important, it should be part of a comprehensive approach to preventing and managing the condition, including risk assessments, preventive measures, and regular health surveillance.
spacebands also monitor for loud noise exposure in addition to hand arm vibration.

What is a HAV monitoring device?

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.

How accurate is the spacebands HAV monitoring device?

spacebands device is a single-axis accelerometer: measuring vibration in a single direction from the wrist. The HAVS safety feature is intended as a rough guide to exposure to hand arm vibration.
There are more accurate devices on the market, but none that offer the range of features spacebands offer.

spacebands' HAVS feature allows H&S Managers to get a simple overview of exposure levels for individual workers.

What's the difference between a vibration meter and a vibration monitor?

Need a hand-arm vibration meter for engineering tests? Use a certified meter to measure tool magnitude.

spacebands is a wearable HAVS monitor (watch) for day-to-day work: it tracks A(8) & points, warns before EAV/ELV, and logs evidence for audits.
