23-200 Hand Arm Vibration Monitoring Equipment

Rotherham Council is seeking to procure a combined hardware and software package that supports the health surveillance and overall management of vibratory tool use.

The Council's requirement includes physical devices to assist with the measuring and monitoring of employee exposure to Hand Arm Vibrations (HAVs) caused by different pieces of equipment and their association vibration magnitude. The assets need to record the exposure of an individual to their tools and feed into a back-office system which produces data to support the management of exposure. The devices need to be suitable for a range of working environments, across teams in highways, drainage, grounds maintenance and park maintenance.

The soft market testing will take place in person on 20 February 2024 in Rotherham.
