Details of Observation¶
Statement of Observation: HAVS assessments conducted but monitoring schedule relies on supervisor memory rather than systematic triggers. Formalisation would ensure consistent monitoring.
Planned Actions¶
Containment Action(s), including correction, with supporting completion date(s):

Root Cause¶
Primary Cause: Manual tracking system limitations Contributing Factors: Low historical exposure levels reducing perceived urgency
Proposed Corrective Action¶
- Deploy HAVS monitoring app identified in legal register.
- Automatic alerts at exposure thresholds.
- Quarterly exposure reports.
Verification¶
- [x] App operational with all relevant operatives registered — addressed by the control recorded at closure.
- [x] Three months of exposure tracking data — addressed by the control recorded at closure.
Points noted¶
- Tool selection to reduce vibration
- Job rotation schedules
- Regular health checks
Feedback & Acknowledgments¶
Operatives supportive of health monitoring improvements.

| 1 | App operational with all relevant operatives registered. | Alternative control adopted | The exposure-monitoring app remains a 2026-27 roadmap item. The trigger-time caps in RA_HO_18 (04/05/2026) are the control in place. |
| 2 | Three months of exposure tracking data. | Alternative control adopted | No exposure data is collected. Control is by trigger-time limit rather than by measurement, with TBT-2026-06 covering the thresholds. |
Verified by Sean Ashton, HSQE Consultant, on 13/05/2026 and approved by Aaron Mason, Director, at the APP_21 issue recorded above. The close-out block is completed accordingly.
