A vibration management device comprises a mount couplable to a tool and a vibration monitor couplable to the mount. The vibration monitor receives tool vibration magnitude (TVM) rating data stored within the mount when the monitor is coupled to the mount. A vibration sensor in the monitor is used to indicate that the tool is in use when the measured vibration exceeds a threshold. The vibration monitor updates a vibration exposure value as a function of the TVM rating and the duration for which the tool is in use. The vibration monitor provides an output to an operator if the vibration exposure value exceeds an exposure threshold. The vibration monitor comprises a first socket and the mount comprises a corresponding second socket arranged such that when the vibration monitor is coupled to the mount the first and second sockets are coupled together such that data may be transmitted between the vibration monitor and the mount. Also disclosed is a vibration management device which uses a tool sensor coupled to the tool, having a vibration sensor, in RF communication with a vibration monitor attached to the tool operator. |
