Preventing HAVS the Scientific Way, with Andrei Feraru

Tired of traditional, inaccurate methods of managing Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS)?

Join us as we chat with Andrei Feraru, innovator and winner of the BSI Innovation Award for Product Safety, who's revolutionising HAVS prevention through data-driven technology. Discover how his innovative solution is changing the game for businesses, workers, and the future of workplace safety.

Highlights:

- HAVS is a major problem: Over 2 million people in the UK alone are exposed to daily vibration at work.

- Traditional methods fall short: Manufacturers' datasheets and estimations based on self-reported exposure are unreliable.

- Data is king: Feraru's technology measures vibration, grip force, posture, and time of exposure to provide personalised insights.

- A game changer for businesses: Data-driven insights empower companies to identify the root cause of HAVS, implement effective control measures, and improve worker safety and productivity.

- The future is automated: AI and data will automate the HAVS risk assessment process, creating a safer and more efficient workplace

Quotes:

"People are still claiming cases of HAVS even though the tools were improving. So there was clearly something wrong in this industry."

"Data is everything. In a few years, if you don't have data on your business processes, you'll be like not having a website or a camera on your phone."
