Hand-arm vibration exposure tracked per worker, per tool
HAVS is cumulative and irreversible, and it is caused by exposure nobody was adding up. Gaffer records each worker’s exposure by tool — duration, the manufacturer’s declared value, the value you actually work to, and the resulting daily A(8) — and flags where it crosses the action or limit value.
Part of health & safety in Gaffer, which replaces a folder of last year’s templates with the dates changed.
The H&S paperwork gets done because it lives where the work is.
Risk assessments, method statements, permits, toolbox talks, inspections and registers, covering what an inspector, a main contractor or an insurer will ask for.
Win tenders that demand evidence, and sleep better knowing the file is complete.
Vibration exposure records are one of the 40 things in health & safety. See the rest →
- Vibration type and the specific tool or vehicle, with manufacturer and model
- Manufacturer’s declared vibration value alongside the actual value used
- Exposure duration in hours and the resulting daily A(8)
- Explicit exceeds-EAV and exceeds-ELV flags
- Controls applied and the job or task the exposure came from
- Next assessment due date so monitoring keeps pace with the work
Step 04 of the job: on site
The engineer taps “On my way” and the customer gets a text with an arrival window. On site: clock in, photos, the certificate for the job — EICR, Gas Safety, whatever the trade needs — signed on the device. No signal? It syncs later.
Health & Safety is where vibration exposure records sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →
What are vibration exposure records for?
HAVS is cumulative and irreversible, and it is caused by exposure nobody was adding up.

Will this satisfy a main contractor asking for RAMS?
It produces the document they ask for, specific to the job rather than last year’s with the address changed, as a PDF you can send before you arrive. Their pre-qualification questions are their own, but the evidence is in one place.
Do the assessments have to be filled in on site?
That is the point of them, and the app is built for it — but they can be prepared in the office and signed on site, which is how most crews actually work.
Which plan is it on?
Every paid plan. Vibration exposure records is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
