Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS)
24-01-2025
Did you know? Employers have a legal and moral duty to protect their workforce from the risks of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), a serious and preventable condition caused by prolonged use of vibrating tools.
HAVS doesn’t just affect employees’ health - it can also lead to lost productivity, increased absenteeism, and significant legal and financial consequences for employers who fail to take action.
Here’s how employers can meet their responsibilities:
Assess Risks: Regularly monitor and assess vibration levels in the workplace.
Control Exposure: Limit employees' exposure time to vibrating tools and equipment.
Provide Training: Ensure your team is trained to use tools safely and is aware of the risks.
Invest in Monitoring: Use reliable vibration monitoring equipment.Prevention is better than cure, and protecting your team is not just a legal requirement - it’s the right thing to do.
