Regular exposure to vibrations can lead to a number of debilitating conditions; the two most common are Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Both conditions can cause numbness, weakness, pain, and, if left untreated, loss of control in a person’s hands; it’s important that you’re able to recognise the early warning signs and know when your exposure exceeds safe limits so you can act before the damage becomes permanent. Both you and your employer have a responsibility to make sure that you’re safe at work. Your employer is responsible for monitoring and limiting your exposure to vibrations, for making sure that you’re properly trained and have all the information you need to stay safe, and for providing protective equipment. You have a duty to follow their safety instructions and to properly use/ wear any safety equipment they provide. Understand your responsibilities as an employee or employer and avoid HAVS with our Hand/Arm Vibration Awareness Training. This is a core Health & Safety course designed for workers in the Construction and Manufacturing industries, or more generally, anyone who works with heavy machinery likely to expose them to regular vibrations. People at risk of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome may also be interested in our Personal Protective Equipment Training and/or our General Workshop Safety Training.Empower your team with CPD certified training at discounted rates.
