spacebands helps vehicle repair and accident repair businesses prepare for increased HSE attention on bodyshops, particularly around hand-arm vibration and workplace exposure risks.
Technicians regularly use high-vibration tools such as DA sanders, grinders, impact wrenches and air chisels. These tools can create serious HAVS risk, especially when exposure is estimated manually or based only on generic tool data. In a busy workshop, actual exposure can vary depending on working time, tool condition, grip force, pressure applied and the type of task being completed.
spacebands gives repairers a practical way to move from estimated exposure to real-time monitoring. Our wrist-worn devices alert technicians before exposure thresholds are reached, helping them act before risk becomes a problem. Managers can then use the spacebands dashboard to view exposure data, support compliance records, guide toolbox talks and show that risk is being actively managed.
The system is designed for real-world workshops. There is no tool tagging, no GPS tracking and no complex installation, making it easy to roll out across busy teams.
For NBRA members, spacebands offers a simple way to protect technicians, reduce the risk of HAVS claims and be better prepared if HSE inspectors ask how vibration and noise exposure are being controlled.
spacebands gave us a simple way to capture real exposure data without adding faff to the working day. The system gives us transparency across the business, helping us prove we are providing a safe environment and taking active steps to protect our people.
