Usually run online, this management briefing often demonstrates that many organisations are wasting resources on ineffective risk reduction measures based on common misinformation and marketing myths associated with HAVS. It provides an opportunity for managers to assess and discuss their current HAVS risk management programme against current best practices.
Typically, substantial cost savings and improvements in efficacy are possible...
The risk reduction measures in use are far too often predicated on false perceptions of what constitutes best practice, false perceptions encouraged by the "vibration measurement industry".
Examples of the common myths include:-
- You don't necessarily have to measure vibration at all, let alone regularly or continuously - nor do insurance companies expect it. Virtual assessments are often the best option
- PPE (AV gloves) for HAVS does not work - despite the advertisements...
- A buy or hire smooth policy is a very effective risk reduction tool as manufacturers are constantly their products (as there is no PPE)
- Changing behaviour is very important as personal behaviour is very influential in determining individual risk
The briefing dispels the mythology, illustrates best practice in cost-effective HAVS risk reduction actions that could be adopted and provides an opportunity to discuss company policy with industry experts.
Quality HAVS training - in person or online
This HAVS training course is run face-to-face at a host site. Once a date has been selected, other parties can be invited as appropriate (reducing costs). There is also an online version giving even more flexibility.
