Exposure to hand-arm vibration from power tools and machinery can lead to serious health conditions such as Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. At Safetymen, we offer comprehensive HAV testing services to help employers meet legal obligations, protect their workforce, and reduce the risk of long-term injury.
✅ Why HAV Testing Matters
Under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005, UK employers are legally required to assess and manage risks from vibration exposure. Failure to comply can result in enforcement action, compensation claims, and reputational damage.
Our HAV testing service helps you:
- Identify high-risk tools and tasks
- Measure vibration levels using calibrated equipment
- Establish safe exposure limits (EAV and ELV)
- Implement control measures and monitoring systems
- Maintain compliance with HSE guidelines
