HAV Risk Assessment and Management - Best Practice Guide

Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV) from prolonged tool use can lead to serious health issues like HAV Syndrome (HAVS), damaging blood vessels, nerves, bones and muscles. Even less obvious tools, such as bench saws, polishing wheels and engravers can pose a risk.

To help you manage these risks, our guide covers the essentials of HAV and outlines an effective HAV risk management programme to ensure you're in compliance with the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005.

Accurate and effective frequency analysis - source ID and rapid complaint resolution

This is a detailed guide to using a very effective free Android app for narrow band tonal noise analysis and identification (FFT analysis).

Why use old fashioned 1/3 octaves that are not good at identifying tones and that throw away so much useful identification and diagnostic information when a smartphone app can provide an accurate evaluation?

There can be no valid excuse to rely on subjective impressions or third octaves when tonal noise may be involved.

This is a simple process that dramatically improves noise complaint resolution, source identification and, with our help, BPM/BAT evaluation.

Once you've analysed, what next?

The results of your narrow band analyses may be sufficient. You can determine if there is/isn't a tone or whether the tone is from a particular item of plant.

If you need help with tonal noise source ID or the mitigation options, then you can contact us to make use of our free remote analysis service.
