# Record a HAVS exposure

> Record a completed period of hand-arm vibration exposure against an HSE Table 1 category (`havs-equipment`).

The category's recommended initial magnitude is copied onto the record, and points, A(8) and the trigger time are derived from it. A later change to the category does not restate the record.

A category whose recommended initial magnitude is zero or less is refused. Its points, A(8) and trigger time would not be meaningful values.

The subject defaults to the caller. Recording for someone else needs the `havs-exposures:create-on-behalf` permission, and the record keeps who recorded it.

        A point on the ground, given in either British National Grid eastings

        Supply one standard, not both. The platform stores what it is given and
        does

        not convert between the two, so a point carries the standard it was
        entered in

        and only that one is populated on read. Supplying both is rejected:
        choosing

        one would silently discard the other.


        Each coordinate must be complete. Half a coordinate locates nothing, and
        a

        missing member would otherwise be read as a zero, putting a pole in the
        Gulf of

        Guinea or off the Isles of Scilly.


        The `oneOf` below is what makes that rule part of the contract rather
        than

        only prose, so a generated client cannot construct a point the API
        refuses.

        The third branch is the point that carries neither standard, which is
        how an

        empty `{}` clears a coordinate.

            `CH.003.080` (403) means the organisation in `meta.organisation_id`
            requires two-factor authentication and the caller's session does not
            satisfy it. The caller must set up or use a second factor, or sign
            in through their organisation's SAML single sign-on. Other OIDC
            sign-ins do not count.
