Hand-arm vibration
Know real trigger time.
Real trigger time on grinders and vibrating tools, measured from video, for a daily exposure record you can defend.

Hand-arm vibration drives long-tail claims that are hard to defend, because most sites estimate trigger time from task descriptions and self-reporting.
Trigger time is worked out per person, per shift. Where you already use vibration wearables, we can look at bringing that data in.
How it works
Xalo sees when each tool is in use.
Trigger time is matched to that tool's vibration magnitude.
Daily exposure is worked out as A(8) against the HSE action and limit values.
Operators nearing their limit trigger an alert.
What you get
- A daily exposure record per operator and per tool
- Alerts before the exposure action value and the limit value are reached
- Long-term history for health surveillance and claims defence
Benefits
- Defensible evidence against inflated claims
- Intervention before damage is done
- Better choices on tools, rotation and maintenance
Use cases
- Fettling benches
- Grinding
- Chipping
- Sanding
- Needle scaling
- Breakers
Regulation
- Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005
Exposure values
- Daily exposure action value (EAV)
- 2.5 m/s² A(8)
- Daily exposure limit value (ELV)
- 5.0 m/s² A(8)
