The Control of Vibration at Work 2005 (CoVaW) guidance (L140) was updated by the HSE in July 2019. Coupled with other revisions to best practice, many organisations are well behind the curve in complying with the regulatory requirements for HAVS risk management. This workshop provides delegates with a pragmatic guide to the latest risk management best practices that they can then implement - some of which will not only reduce risk, but will also cut costs.
A few of the myths and perhaps unexpected issues covered include:-
- No wrist or glove mounted transducer monitors comply with the ISO 5349 vibration measurement standards - period
- Demystifying disingenuous claims by some suppliers of HAVS monitoring equipment
- Why HAVS risk management is much simpler than most people think
- How is never measuring vibration again a possibility?
- Insurance companies do not expect you to monitor continuously
- Spend less, much less, and yet get better control of HAVS risk
This HAVS training workshop can also be customised and run in-house or online.
“Just as a ‘thank you’ – we reduced our daily exposures for grinders/sanders from around 5m/sec^2 down to below 2m/sec^2 by improving the tools…”. Mick Schilling: Coventry and Solihull Waste Disposal Company
Surprised at some information - not as complicated as first thought. Could save time and money in future in how we deal with HAVs. Darryl Dawson, Sheffield Council manager
