Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005


Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005
What is hand-arm vibration?
Hand-arm vibration is vibration transmitted from work processes into workers' hands and arms. It can be caused by operating hand-held power tools, such as road breakers, and hand-guided equipment, such as powered lawnmowers, or by holding materials being processed by machines, such as pedestal grinders.
By law employer's must assess and identify measures to eliminate or reduce risks from exposure to hand-arm vibration so that they can protect their employees from risks to their health
Here at VMS we can carry out these measurements and advise the best methods to reduce exposure for your employees .
