HAVS tagging resonates success at AMEC

AMEC is an international project management and services company, employing around 45,000 people in some 40 countries around the world. Safe delivery is an important part of the AMEC promise and a strong health and safety discipline is fundamental to their culture which runs through everything they do. But safe delivery goes beyond health and safety concerns. Working on customers’ valuable assets, they have to take responsibility for their investment, treating their customers’ risk and reputation as their own.

Scafftag® systems play an important role in reinforcing AMEC Logistics and Support Services safety culture, providing visual communication of vital inspection information to equipment users. Amongst the varied range of applications for which a Scafftag system can be used, is to control HAVS (Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome). A Microtag® is attached to portable tools subject to HAVS in order to indicate whether they are safe to use and provide clear, up to date details of inspections. The Microtag system is waterproof and ensures maximum durability in outdoor industrial environments where the majority of AMEC’s work is undertaken. The dynamic nature of the Microtag holder and insert system also provides instant ability to change unsafe equipment into Do Not Use status.
