STONE & WORKTOP FABRICATION

Stone finishing. Exposure, measured.

Monitor your team’s hand-arm vibration and noise exposure across cutting, grinding and polishing. spacebands combines a simple wrist-worn device with clear reporting to help you protect workers and manage exposure.

  • Vibration and noise monitoring in one wearable
  • Worker alerts when exposure thresholds are reached
  • No individual tool tagging
  • Exposure records and management actions in one dashboard

THE CHALLENGE

Different tools. One daily exposure total.

A worker might grind edges, polish profiles and make final adjustments across several jobs. Each powered task can contribute to their daily vibration exposure.

For workshop managers, keeping track becomes harder as jobs, tools and workloads change. spacebands helps you build a clearer picture of individual exposure across the working day.

PERSONAL MONITORING

Follow the worker through the work

Your team wears spacebands as they move between fabrication tasks, with no need to scan or tag each tool.

The wearable records vibration exposure and calculates daily A(8) and HAV points. On-device alerts notify the worker when recorded exposure reaches an action or limit threshold, supporting your agreed response procedures.

DASHBOARD & REPORTING

Turn exposure records into practical action

When wearables are placed on charge, exposure data uploads to the spacebands dashboard.

‍See patterns across your team
Review exposure by worker and date to identify recurring high readings and priorities for investigation.

‍Record what happens next
Document follow-up actions, from checking equipment to reviewing task allocation and working methods.

‍Keep reporting straightforward
Export exposure records in CSV or PDF format for internal reviews, audits and investigations.

HOW IT WORKS

A simple routine for your workshop

1. Wear during work
Workers wear their assigned device while carrying out fabrication and finishing tasks.

‍2. Respond to alerts
The device alerts workers when recorded exposure reaches an action or limit threshold.

‍3. Charge and upload
Exposure data uploads through the connected charging station.

‍4. Review and act
Managers review results, investigate patterns and record the actions taken.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

spacebands are helping Health & Safety managers around the world reduce accidents, injuries and legal claims

Is spacebands suitable for stone finishing and worktop fabrication?

spacebands supports teams managing vibration and noise exposure during powered work. A demonstration can help you explore how it would fit your cutting, grinding, polishing and installation workflows.

Can the same device monitor vibration and noise?

Yes. spacebands combines vibration and noise monitoring in one wearable, with uploaded records available through a central dashboard.

Can we record the actions taken after high exposure?

Yes. Managers can add follow-up notes in the dashboard, creating a record of the response alongside exposure information. This helps teams keep track of investigations and improvements.

Do we need to tool tag every grinder and polisher?

No. The device is worn by the worker and does not require individual tool tagging. Workers can move between tools and tasks without scanning or selecting equipment.

Do workers need a phone or internet connection?

No. The wearable records data during use without a phone or internet connection. The charging station requires an internet connection to upload data to the dashboard.

Are compliant tools enough to prevent HAVS in workshops?

No, even compliant tools can lead to harmful exposure if used repeatedly over time without monitoring how long and how often they are used.
