Hand Arm Vibration Logging app
The Hand Arm Vibration Logging app is a digitally enabled mobile app, which will help operational field staff at UK Power Networks to record daily use of vibration tools and monitor exposure levels more accurately. The app will support compliance, improve safety oversight and give managers better information to identify and act on potential exposure risks.
Key deliverables
- Internal mobile app for recording daily use of vibration tools
- Automated exposure point calculations and alerts for defined thresholds
- Management reporting and dashboards to support oversight of exposure risk
- Secure long-term record storage (up to 40 years) with search and access capability
Target outcomes
- Improved monitoring of vibration exposure across the workforce
- Earlier identification of colleagues approaching or exceeding exposure thresholds
- Reduced reliance on paper logs and improved completeness of records
- Better information for Health & Safety teams and managers to support timely interventions
Measures of success
- Percentage of target users recording daily tool usage or nil returns
- Reduction in missing or incomplete HAVS (Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome) exposure records
- Number of exposure alerts generated and acted upon
- Successful pilot and wider rollout to target user groups
- Positive feedback from Health & Safety and field users
Stakeholder Engagement
The project has engaged Health & Safety stakeholders to understand requirements and current manual logging processes. Field staff are being involved through User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to confirm the app is practical for day-to-day use.

Guidelight addresses a lack of understanding of LCT usages, network services like flexibility, and digital technologies to optimise energy consumption, among low-income and vulnerable households participating in local retrofit initiatives. This project is funded through the Strategic Innovation Fund, which works in three phases. If successful for a subsequent phase then the end date and other details will change.
