Reactec Analytics Platform Management Training
Required for all levels of management responsible for managing HAVs exposure and system software administrators Ensure the presentation and notes content are fully understood The Value propositions in each slide (complemented with these notes – need to be delivered): Before presenting Ask the audience what they do for HAVs just now If they do actually do something, how do they manage this : Walk them through their processes and do not be judgmental. Praise them for doing something and maybe highlight other points that they may want to do that benefits them. Like vibration testing ? Question how laborious they feel their process is? OR If they don’t really do much highlight how laborious it would be. How accurate is their process? How do they store all the data etc ? This will keep the presentation interactive and make the prospective customer involved in the whole process. Designers and manufacturers of the HAVWEAR Personal HAVS Protection

Health Effects of Exposure to Vibration
Regular and frequent exposure to hand-arm vibration can lead to two health conditions Hand Arm Vibration syndrome (HAVS) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) v13
4
What is Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome? HAVS
Symptoms and effects of HAVS include; tingling and numbness in the fingers which can result in an inability to do fine work (e.g. assembling small components) or everyday tasks (e.g. fastening buttons); loss of strength in the hands which might affect the ability to do work safely; the fingers going white (blanching) and becoming red and painful on recovery, reducing ability to work in cold or damp conditions especially outdoors. v13
5
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? CTS
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the nerve that controls sensation and movement in the hands. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage in your wrist made up of small bones and a tough band of tissue. It acts as a pulley for the tendons that bend the fingers. Symptoms of CTS include tingling, numbness, pain and weakness in the hand which can interfere with work and everyday tasks. v13
6
HAV Syndrome is irreversible while CTS may be improved with surgery.
What are the effects? Symptoms of both may come and go, but with continued exposure to vibration they may become permanent and cause pain, distress and sleep disturbance. This can happen after only a few months of exposure, but in most cases it will happen over a few years. HAV Syndrome is irreversible while CTS may be improved with surgery. v13

5,000,000 users in Great Britain* 2,000,000 exposed to high levels*
How severe is the problem? HAVS- Related Legislation The control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 “Protect workers’ health & safety from vibration exposure due to vibratory equipment transmitted by hand contact” Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 “Every employee is entitled to safety in the workplace” “It shall be the duty of every employee while at work to take reasonable care for the health and safety of himself and of other persons … at work” 5,000,000 users in Great Britain* 2,000,000 exposed to high levels* 300,000 suffering advanced stages of HAVS* 6 You can develop HAVS within 6 months. (HSE) 2012 50% of all reported Occupational industrial diseases are HAVS related (HSE) 2012 10% of people exposed to 100 points will develop HAVs within 12 years (HSE) Inspector Guide *Medical Research Council SUMMARY Just quote the key facts v13
9
What the Law Says The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 and associated guidance requires the following; Elimination or control of vibration exposure risk to as low as reasonably practical (ALARP). An assessment of the risks to employees from exposure to vibration, including assessment of employees’ daily exposure to vibration. Information, instruction and training to tool users and their managers. Specifically: Regulation 5(1) of the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 states: An employer who carries out work which is liable to expose any of his employees to risk from vibration shall make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risk created by that work to the health and safety of those employees and the risk assessment shall identify the measures that need to be taken to meet the requirements of these Regulations. v13
10
Responsibilities Line Manager – Know which employees are at risk
Provide information to employees Ensure control measures are in place Plan tasks to eliminate or reduce exposure Ensure employees take part in health surveillance Investigate when a new or worsening case of HAVS is identified Employee – Know how to spot early signs of HAVS Report any problems to their line manager Take part in health surveillance Make sure control measures are used correctly v13
11
Responsibilities Line Manager – Employee – Don’t just monitor - manage
Track the effectiveness of possible control measures Automation Job rotation Alternative equipment More appropriate tools Understand that 100 points is NOT safe Employee – Take responsibility and check exposure level Use tools correctly and use the right tool for the job. The aim is not to need to use excessive grip, nor to use a tool for longer than necessary Hold tools as loosely as possible and in varying positions. Ensure that tools are well maintained. Alert supervisors to unusual tool behaviour Keep hands warm in the cold Take regular breaks of at least 10 minutes away from the tool. Short bursts of work are better than long periods of work without a break Be cognisant of outside work activity. (Cold weather motor biking; trail biking; chainsaws ……….. etc) You should not smoke - the chemicals in tobacco can affect blood flow v13

How does Reactec Analytics Platform
support your Legislative obligations Follow the control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 Consistent & accurate data is essential for effective root cause analysis NO FURTHER ACTIONS Go back to stage 1 if work practises change or for a timely risk assessment. No Risk No Risk 1 EVALUATE RISK Evaluate the vibration risk and employ monitoring if unsure. 2 CONTROL MANAGEMENT Programme of controls to eliminate risk, or reduce exposure to as low as is reasonably practicable. 3 HEALTH SURVEILANCE Health checks for employees who continue to be at risk. EVALUATE RISK Exposure monitoring to assess exposure. REVIEW ACTIONS Review and update your risk assessment regularly. Risk Risk SUMMARY Top tool exposure - Assess how to reduce exposure through better understanding of which tools types are exposing workers the most to HAV. Tool exposure trend indicates if reduction actions have made an impact Tool Usage - Compare actual tool use against ownership and for under and overall utilisation per group ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… BACKGROUND INFORMATION You can easily view what tools are being used, and equally what's not being used. It allows you to see what's used most, by whom, when and how often. Tracking tool trigger times and performance, provides a business with a clearer overview on how to reduce tool redundancy and allocation to improve maintenance schedules; Improve tool utilisation – Accurate monitoring of trigger time identifies redundant or low tool utilisation. Highlight poor tool performance - Tool vibration trending predicts early maintenance or training. Share the workload – Identify over reliance on specific tools to re-address the workload balance. Extend tool lifecycle – Avoid premature tool replacements with accurate tool use reports. Provided employees always attach the HAVmeter, the company has full visibility of the activity levels of their tools In addition to calculating the HSE’s exposure points based on trigger time and tool tag programmed vibration level, the HAVmeter measures the actual vibration level experienced by HAVmeter at the location of the tool tag. Vibration is defined both in terms of level and frequency which is only fully defined by a complex spectral analysis. The HSE’s points system has been defined to simplify the science for the industry and provide a practical system for adoption. From a tool management point of view the actual measured vibration for a point on the tool is very valuable data as it measures consistently from the one location on the tool to measure trend to indicate tool health and highlight possible tool tagging errors. Detailed assessment of real time HAV risk Consistent data to assess effectiveness of controls Assess Risk v13 Page 12
13
HAVs Exposure Points System
The points system has been devised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to simplify assessing daily exposure to vibration Allows risk from using more than one tool type to be easily combined Takes into account time on the tool and the magnitude of vibration from the tool which are likely to cause HAVs The system converts the vibration magnitude (m/s²) in a period of 8 hours (A(8)) into risk assessment points 100 points = exposure action value (EAV), equivalent to 8 hours use of a tool with a vibration of 2.5m/s2 400 points = exposure limit value (ELV) ), equivalent to 8 hours use of a tool with a vibration of 5m/s2 v13
14
HSE Assessment System How vibration level and duration are converted to exposure risk Tool vibration (m/s2) 3 5 10 15 Points per hour 18 50 200 450 *HSE Website: An increase of exposure points is non-linear with vibration magnitude Chart indicates points per hour of each level of magnitude. Angle grinder vibration magnitude 5m/s2 Trigger time: 3 hours PRODUCES: 150 EXPOSURE POINTS SUMMARY Emphasise that exposure points is a non-linear relationship between vibration level and trigger time – table curve indicates this. Sampling exposure or using paper based systems are prone to errors – even underestimating a workers time by 30 mins pushes them into their EAV threshold…… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Health and Safety Executive have established a points system based on a defined tool vibration level times trigger time in any one 8 hour period There are two limit levels An EAV at 100 points = a requirement to implement action plans to reduce exposure to as low as feasibly possible. Equivalent to 8 hours exposure to 2.5m/s2 An ELV at 400 points = immediately stop exposure Relying on an individuals assessment can give critical exposure calculation errors with even a small amount of time on high vibration tools Manual assessment of exposure is only spot checking, even the smallest under assessment of tool use (between 0 and 2 hours is where the most dramatic ratio occurs on the chart) then operators using tools of 6 m/s and above for example will breach an action level with just half an hour margin of error. So employers who think operators only use power tools for a short time per day can easily breach action levels. v13 Page 14
15
HSE Traffic Light Indicators
Green 0 – 100 points (for healthy workers) Below Exposure Action Value Amber points (for healthy workers) Exceeding Exposure Action Value Action must be taken to reduce risk Red Over 400 points (for healthy workers) Exceeding Exposure Limit Value Work should stop N.B. Workers identified as either AT RISK OF DEVELOPING HAVS or AS HAVING EARLY STAGE HAVS will require lower points allocation v13 Page 15

What is HAVWEAR – how does it help?
A monitoring device that automates the HSE points calculation process and displays real-time exposure levels and alerts. HAVWEAR is part of the Reactec Analytics Platform to report exposure data and support optimisation of controls to reduce risk ALARP. Monitor HAVs Online reports 2 1 Manage risks 3 ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… BACKGROUND INFORMATION Vibration white finger (VWF), also known as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) or dead finger, is a secondary form of Raynaud's syndrome. HAVs is an industrial injury triggered by continuous use of vibrating hand-held machinery. Use of the term "vibration white finger" has generally been superseded in professional usage by broader concept of HAVS, although it is still used by the general public. The symptoms of vibrating white finger are the vascular component of HAVS. Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome can be contracted within 6 months Staging The Stockholm system is used to grade severity: Sensorineural component 0SN - exposed to vibrations but no symptoms. 1SN - intermittent numbness +/- tingling. 2SN - numbness (intermittent or continuous) with loss of feeling of touch. 3SN - numbness (intermittent or continuous) with loss of discrimination by touch +/- manual dexterity. Vascular component Stage 1 - mild, with only occasional attacks affecting the tips of one or more fingers. Stage 2 - moderate, with occasional attacks affecting the distal or middle phalanges of one or more fingers. Stage 3 - severe, with frequent attacks affecting all phalanges of most fingers. Stage 4 - very severe, as Stage 3, plus trophic changes in fingertips. v13

HAVWEAR Latest tool used Last 4 characters of tool model number.
HSE points Vibration exposure points Battery Level Indicates battery level Operator initials First name initial and first three characters of last name Exposure action values LED indicator of exposure thresholds reached While being worn on the wrist the HAVwear brings to life, for the operator, a first hand knowledge of the HAVs risk they are exposed to The wearer can be certain after they has tagged a tool that the HAVwear knows which tool they are using The wearer can see that the HAVwear has recognised them The wearer can see in absolute real time their points clocking up through the day as they move from tool to tool Even if the wearer is not comfortable remembering what the points mean they will be reminded as points are clocked up points that they have moved out of the green (BAV) into their Exposure Action value – the next dot appears on the screen. The wearer will also sense a vibration and hear a buzzing alert. Exposure action thresholds are indicated with a coloured bar. A black circle is displayed in each coloured bar to indicate the wearers personal threshold level and the EAV coloured bar is split into 3 equal parts to alert the wearer of incremental increases in exposure. First alert is for 2 seconds when the wearers personal EAV threshold is breached. The second and third alert is triggered when the wearer’s personal EAV threshold increases with the fourth when ELV is reached. Sound and vibration alerts also inform the wearer of incremental increases in exposure and action thresholds exceeded. The traffic light systems employed by the HAVwear indicator lights are related to the HSE Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 (the Vibration Regulations). The Vibration Regulations include an exposure action value (EAV) and an exposure limit value (ELV) based on a combination of the vibration at the grip point(s) on vibrating equipment and the time spent using it. • EAV – 100 exposure points equivalent to daily exposure to vibrations of 2.5 m/s2 over 8 hours that represents a clear risk requiring Management action to reduce the risk. • ELV – 400 exposure points equivalent to daily exposure to vibrations of 5 m/s2 over 8 hours that represents a high risk above which employees should not be exposed. Individual operators may have modified EAV and ELV values based on their risk factors or historical vibration exposure. Organisations may also use alternative values to suit their policies. v13

HAVWEAR Personal HAVS Protection The HAVWEAR has a ground breaking ability to calculate HAV risk assessment exposure points and Personal Exposure points Pre-defined expected tool vibration magnitude Sensed Exposure Points (SEP) v13
20
Using the System – Key Points
HAVWEAR – How it works HAVwear continually monitors & stores two risk assessment exposure point values -TEP & SEP. The HAVWEAR sensed vibration (SEP) is not compliant to ISO5349 but will give an indication, real time of the actual vibration faced by the tool user. The employer’s responsibility is to use the risk assessment which is most representative of the risk faced. This means what level of vibration is most probably experienced during tool use. If an employer wants to use SEP to manage their HAVs risk controls, Reactec recommend an exercise to validate the HAVwear vibration levels are consistent with an ISO5349 measurement. Within the Analytics software an employer chooses if HAVwear is to display TEP or SEP and for normal report users which is shown as exposure data. This does not alter the fact that both sets of data are always recorded and available at all time to smart users for review v13
21
Using the System – Key Points
HAVWEAR – how it works The HAVwear constantly senses vibration It determines if the nature of the vibration is from a tool to decide that a tool trigger has been pulled. If an operator forgets to tag a tool after sign out, the HAVwear will display the SEP points as TEP points and store as TEP points with no tool identity. As soon as one tool tag is read in a shift TEP and SEP are created independently. The trigger time together with the last read Tag vibration is used to calculate TEP points. If an operator forgets to tag the next tool, the TEP points will be based on the last Tag read. If the operator will be subject to material vibrations OFF tool which are not a source of HAVs, an OFF tag or the OFF button can be used to ensure TEP points are zero. This should be considered especially when moving OFF a high vibration tool. An OFF tag has an identity of OFF and a vibration level of 0.0m/s2. It allows a controlled use of OFF. Setting the OFF button allows all operators an ability to switch off detection of TEP points. TEP is detected again as soon as another tag is read. SEP is not affected by an OFF tag or OFF button. v13

Data transmitted to the cloud based reports 2 HAVWEAR data downloads to the Docking station Regional Managers H&S Managers 4 Note After a typical days use of a fully charged HAVWEAR the time to re-charge is 33 mins. When fully discharged a HAVWEAR requires 3 hours to recharge. Max battery life is 48 hours Employees view reports and receive auto s 1 SUMMARY HAVmeter placed back onto a Basestation HAVmeter data downloads to the Basestation Communications module sends Basestation data to the cloud based reports Cloud based reports - Company manages employee access to real-time reports 4. Employees view reports and receive auto s ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… BACKGROUND INFORMATION At multiple times per day (duration can be amended by yourself) the data in the Basestation is transmitted via mobile phone technology to a cloud based data server. The mobile phone technology used has the widest coverage across the UK and Ireland and is not dependant on high speed data signals as the amount of data transmitted is very small. The data transfer is encrypted. Access to the online data and reports are totally controlled by you. The online reports are hosted by a third party supplier which is already used by several UK Government bodies and secured with HTTP technology. Your central company administrator would manage a multi-tiered set of access rights from line supervisors, to H&S experts, HR compliance managers and business leaders. Reactec has no access to the data to ensure compliance to data protection laws. The system also provides robust provisions to prevent tampering and deliver detailed audit trails for the same reason. Once access rights are set up all levels of management have instant access to the appropriate data providing they have access via a PC, tablet or smart phone to the internet.

Reactec Analytics Platform
Access to the reports software Reactec will set up an initial administrator who will receive a welcome containing a link to a web page to create your unique password. The first administrator then sets up a chain of creation of users. User types Enterprise Administrator Administrator Group administrator Report user Smart user = one of the above who can see both TEP and SEP SUMMARY Not only does it automate the whole HSE points calculation it educates workers ( a key objective of the HSE) and with greater access to online reports raises awareness throughout the company for Managers and workers. The system s reports to specified employees to keep them updated on worker activity – proactive HAV management ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… BACKGROUND INFORMATION Paper based systems to record exposure levels are Labour intensive. Prone to significant errors. Operators as easily understate as overstate Actions to reduce risk are required and if based on paper generated data then bad data = bad decisions If a HAVS risk cannot be removed then RAP is the best solution to protect your company and employees from HAVS risk. More cost effective and accurate than paper based monitoring. The Reactec Analytics Platform completely removes all administration and guess work by automating the whole process from real-time calculation of worker exposure in the field using HSE points system to providing employers with reliable and valuable information. A unique platform to consistently educate & inform workers Real-time monitoring educates tool operators in the field of their risk in relation to tool activity. To many operatives it becomes as much a PPE due to the real time LED indicators Centrally manage your workers exposure From head office to remote locations only an internet connection and computer are required to view the online reports. Companies can centrally manage employee online access to view specific or company wide reports. Support HSE compliance Rap provides company wide access to simple and practical exposure reports so more managers, team leaders and operators can understand their HAVS risk. To empower not only H&S with the knowledge of how to reduce the risk of HAVS but to educate and inform the operators, team leaders and other managers to take ownership of their risk exposure and reduce what has been traditionally the responsibility of H&S representatives by involving all stakeholders through the simple to use, effective and informative RAP. Be informed on things that matter Team leaders and managers can receive reports via on a pre-defined timely basis. Develop and execute effective risk reduction plans - Helps prioritise actions to reduce HAVS risk At a glance see; operator’s daily exposure from which tools, duration of use and tool sharing practises. tool exposure across projects to address tool utilisation and procurement strategy. KPI’s and trends to assess reduction policy - Being able to assess exposure trends and KPIs will enable proactive risk management - for an individual employee, team or country wide basis. Later version; Predict and prevent tool maintenance The system also informs of tool vibration trends to highlight potential early tool maintenance or operator training. Also over reliance on specific tools can be identifed to re-address the tool workload balance. Deploy tools more effectively Tracking tool trigger times and performance provides a business with a clearer overview in order to improve tool utilisation, deployment and performance. The corner stone of any MBA – data based decisions Give an unparalleled insight to the deployment of tools and resources. Different industries have differing sensitivities to the cost of availability – but how many know to what extent their tools are actually deployed.

Data Structure Example
The Enterprise For large Corporations only Company Region South Data Group South Construction Division Construction Large Corp Rail Op Co Utilities Op Co Each data group can belong independently to one region and one division To help analyse and report on operator HAV exposure, HAV data can be organised into groups to create granular reports. The Analytics Software can filter all reports to allow viewing of HAVS data by Group, Region and/or Division. Data can be assigned to Groups to reflect these relationships, for example, by project. You can capture additional levels of organisation by categorising Groups by Region and Division. There is no hierarchy between Regions and Divisions. Another example could be of an organisation working on civil engineering projects throughout the UK. Management responsibility is organised by region and project type. Therefore, the management requires HSE reports for individual projects as well as for each region and project type. This can be described by the following organisational units: • Organisation Regions: for example Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, Wales • Organisation Divisions: for example Roads, Rail, Demolition • Individual projects split across locations v13

Reactec HAV risk App - How it works
Scan The Scan screen shows the number of devices currently connected to the app. Scanning for more devices can be activated or de-activated by pressing the button. Devices The Devices screen shows all devices connected to the app. Operators Displays all operators currently connected to the device and their exposure levels. To get more information about one operator, touch the operator name. Main menu options Log into the App using your Reactec Analytics Platform account username and password. App functionality Which operators can I see in the app? You can see all operators that you have access to in the Reactec Analytics Platform, that are currently within range for your apple device. The range is usually m depending on the environment. Operators that have connected to the app and then gone out of range will be shown with a cross in front of their name, and their data will not be updated in the app. Does Bluetooth communication have an impact on my iPhones battery life? By default, the app is continually scanning for new devices. This will reduce the battery life of your apple device a bit. To increase battery life, you can stop scanning (from Main Menu click Scan and Stop Scanning). When scanning is off, the app will not look for new devices, but will keep updating data from devices that are already connected. If scanning is turned off and then on again, the app will clear the list of connected devices, and reconnect with all devices within range. v13
