REACTEC ANALYTICS PLATFORM REACTEC


In the UK, around 300,000 employees are estimated to have advanced symptoms of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and over two million are at increased risk of the syndrome because they are exposed to hand arm vibration levels above the limit set by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE).


In response to these figures, Reactec, specialists in Hand Arm Vibration (HAV) risk management, launched its digital tracking and reporting system to protect employers and employees from HAVS.


The Reactec Analytics Platform combines the firm’s industry- leading HAVMETER with a new cloud-based reporting platform and automated data collation system to deliver a practical and effective solution to assess and control HAVS risk.


The unique online system provides company-wide access to intelligent and practical reports, so that managers, team leaders and tool operators can work collectively to better understand and manage their HAVS risk in a way never before possible. The platform removes the need for paperwork by automating the whole process, from real-time calculation of vibration exposure in the field, to providing employers with reliable and valuable information online.


The practical and effective Reactec Analytics Platform is already proving a hit; the system is protecting more than 20,000 tool operatives across the UK from the risks of vibration exposure.

REDBACKS KNEE PADS REDBACKS CUSHIONING LTD


Redbacks knee pads are made for pocketed work trousers and incorporate a unique ‘direction of force’ design that protects the wearer’s whole body from the potential dangers of impact through continuous kneeling.


At 20% lighter than the previous model, Redbacks Cushioning’s latest generation of knee pads allows greater ease of movement and a thicker grade of spacer fabric, which gives a greater level of comfort.


The knee pads also feature Redbacks Cushioning’s patented leaf-spring technology that evenly distributes the user’s weight. Scientifically proven to absorb impact and reduce shock on knees, back and neck, this ergonomic design provides a unique ‘floating-on-air’ feel along with the highest level of protection and maximum comfort.


Tested under the expert eye of Professor Chockalingam from Staffordshire University, Redbacks knee pads are non- absorbent and breathable. They are available in a choice of antimicrobial, fire retardant or anti-static options, which makes them suitable for use in environments where strict legislative requirements operate.
