Our Hand-Arm Vibration Risk Assessment & Mitigation Services
Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV) Risk Assessment
HAVS is a serious health risk for workers who regularly use vibrating hand tools like drills and grinders. We offer comprehensive HAV risk assessments and effective strategies to reduce exposure.
Advanced Vibration Measurement: Using cutting-edge tools to assess exposure levels at each workstation.
Tool & Process Optimization: We help design ergonomic work processes and select vibration-damping tools to reduce hand-arm vibration.
PPE Recommendations: We advise on the use of vibration-reducing gloves and other PPE where appropriate.
Control Engineering Solutions: From anti-vibration handles to tool modifications, we propose measures to reduce vibration at the source.
Smart Vibration Mitigation Through Design
We focus on reducing vibration during the design phase. Our experts help you:
Design vibration-damping systems for equipment.
Modify tools to reduce vibration transmission.
Implement vibration isolation technologies for seats and work surfaces.
Ongoing Monitoring & Continuous Improvement
Our services extend beyond the initial assessment. We offer ongoing monitoring to ensure that your equipment and processes remain compliant, continually reducing vibration risks.
Legal Compliance & Health Surveillance
Under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005, employers must:
Assess vibration exposure and implement control measures to meet Exposure Action Values (EAV) and Exposure Limit Values (ELV).
Provide health surveillance for workers exposed to high vibration levels.
Educate and train employees on vibration risks.
We help ensure compliance while protecting your employees from Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and other vibration-related health issues.
Why Mitigating Hand-Arm Vibration is Critical
Long-term exposure to hand-arm vibration can cause severe conditions like HAVS, which includes symptoms like numbness, tingling, and permanent damage to hands and arms. By addressing vibration risks early, you reduce the risk of permanent injury, legal liabilities, and costly workers' compensation claims.
Our Process: From Assessment to Mitigation
Initial Assessment: On-site hand-arm vibration risk assessments using advanced measurement tools.
Risk Identification: We assess current risk levels and identify opportunities for improvement.
Design & Engineering Solutions: We propose equipment modifications, ergonomic improvements, and new tool designs to reduce vibration exposure.
Implementation & Monitoring: Our team implements solutions and provides ongoing monitoring for sustained health protection.
