Vibration
This HAVS (Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome) training course considers the use of vibrating tools and equipment used in the workplace and how these can cause long-term damage to health if they’re not effectively managed.
HAVS is a debilitating health condition that is commonly caused by the use of hand-held electrical tools, such as chainsaws, grinding equipment and high torque wrenches, or from holding components that are being worked on by machines. This course explains more about the health hazards associated with vibration exposure, outlines how to carry out an appropriate risk assessment and details the control measures that can be used to reduce the risks.
