Hand-arm vibration management
HSE-compliant, the Q2 personal vibration monitor from Curotec measures actual vibration emissions.
Vibration emissions fluctuate with tool condition, work-piece and operator behaviour. Curotec says database values can be unreliable as they are just estimates, which are often combined with further ‘guesstimates’ of trigger time.
Curotec adds that it's no surprise that so many new cases of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome emerge each year, and that employers continue to face huge fines and compensation claims for Vibration White Finger and Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.
The Q2 measures actual vibration emissions with a high degree of precision, eliminating the guesswork from risk assessments.
It is easy to install, simple to use, and provides complete clarity of vibration exposure for each at-risk employee. Real-time alerts notify both the operator and their supervisor when an individual reaches defined exposure levels. And crucially, the Q2 measures both Hand-Arm AND Whole Body Vibration (WBV) – so if a worker switches from a drill to a dumper truck, their accumulation of HAV and WBV exposure points will be monitored automatically.
