Hand-Arm Vibration Risk Assessments

Where there are power tools, there is normally vibration and prolonged exposure can cause significant health effects. Global OHS offer hand-arm vibration risk assessments services to ensure that any issues are identified early and dealt with appropriately.

Why do I need hand-arm vibration risk assessments?

Normally this would affect Wood workers, Ground workers, Estates staff and some drivers.

Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a widespread condition in many industries and occupations. HAV exposure at work can arise from the use of hand-held power tools, hand-guided machinery and hand-fed machines (such as pedestal grinders).

Why us?

Health surveillance for HAVS should be carried out by competent persons and who received specific training in HAVS. All the team at Global OHS has completed the Faculty of Occupational Medicine HAVS course.

What's involved in a hand-arm vibration risk assessment?

We can offer medicals at our office in Burgess Hill most Fridays, or alternatively if you have a number of people, we can come to your site/office.
