Chime uses a vibration score for each equipment type to work out how many HAVS points an operative builds up. You add these scores yourself, from the tool's label, manufacturer's information or HSE guidance. Every change is kept in a score history, so you always have a record of what each score was, who set it and when.
Adding a new type with vibration scores
Select the Health & Safety tile
Select HAVS tab
Select Vibration Magnitude Tab
If the equipment isn't already set up, select 'add type'
Fill in all the relevant information
When finished, select the 'Add Type' button

Use Case
Health and safety / plant managers who manage equipment information, typically when HAVS is first set up and whenever new tools arrive.
💡 Tips
Scores that were already stored against equipment types before HAVS was set up are kept. Their source, who set them and when show as Not recorded.
Changing a score doesn't change logs that have already been submitted. They keep the score that was in place when they were submitted.
Tools without a score can still be logged, but they add no points. Set scores for every tool your operatives use.
