How to manage the HAV Library for Guided RAMS

Feature: Guided RAMS. This guide is about Guided RAMS, the Intuety feature for building a Task Specific RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statement) step by step inside Intuety. It does not cover uploading an existing RAMS for review. You only see Guided RAMS if your organisation has the Guided RAMS module turned on.

This guide is for Client Admins in organisations with the Guided RAMS module. The HAV (hand-arm vibration) Library holds the tools and tasks your teams use, with the vibration magnitude for each, and the HAVS (hand-arm vibration syndrome) Calculator in Guided RAMS uses these values.

Who can use this?

Client Admins, in organisations that have the Guided RAMS module turned on.

Before you start

Have the manufacturer's vibration data for each tool (in m/s²) for each task it is used for.

Where do I find the HAV Library?

Select HAV Library in the left-hand menu, under the Guided RAMS heading. The page has two tabs: Tools and Tasks.

How do I add a task?

Add tasks first, so you can link them to tools.

Open the Tasks tab.
Select Add Task.
Enter the Task Name and, if you like, a Description.
Select Save. Each task name must be unique.

How do I add a tool?

Open the Tools tab.
Select Add Tool.
Enter the Tool Name, Manufacturer, Model Name and, optionally, Model Number. Add a Tool Image if you have one.
Under Task Vibration Magnitudes, choose a Task and enter its Magnitude (m/s²). Select Add task to add another row.
Select Save.

Use the Status toggle to make a tool or task Active or Inactive. Inactive items do not appear in the HAVS Calculator. To delete a tool or task, select the delete icon and choose Confirm Delete.

What happens next?

Active tools appear in the Tool list when someone adds a process in the HAVS Calculator, and the magnitude is filled in for the task they choose.

Common questions

The HAVS Calculator shows no tools: make sure the tools are active and have at least one task magnitude.
I get an error adding a task: a task with that name already exists.
Can people use a tool that is not in the library? Yes, with Add other process in the HAVS Calculator.
