As a supervisor in the Deck/Marine Department, my teams carried out frequent operations that involved extended hours of using vibrating air tools like needle guns and chisels. There is signifigant evidence showing that prolonged exposure to these vibration forces can cause Hand/Arm Vibration Syndrome. I created this tool from information downloaded online for the crews to easily track and log the time that they spent using these tools. This allowed them to understand their exposure levels and when breaks were needed.
This also prompted the rig to purchase low vibration tool options where available.
