In the UK an estimated two million employees are exposed to the risk of debilitating industrial vibration injuries caused by the repetitive strain from using hand-held tools.
By law, all businesses are required to control the risk of two conditions: Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and Whole Body Vibration (WBV). However, vibration levels all-too-often exceed safe levels if control measures are not applied and inadequate action taken which means companies have incurred fines in excess of £600,000 putting themselves at risk of significant compensation claims.
