    • HAND ARM VIBRATION TRAINING : HAVS COURSES

    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.

    COURSE OBJECTIVE

    This training course was developed to raise awareness to the potentially crippling effects of working with vibrating equipment or machinery and includes control measures to be adopted to help prevent exposure.

    WHO SHOULD ATTEND

    All personnel who work vibrating machinery or equipment.

    PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

    An awareness of Health & Safety issues would be an advantage but not essential.
