Vibration monitoring is an essential part of day to day safety management, not only in the construction industry but in general manufacturing. Exposure to workplace vibration can lead to long-term health conditions, including Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and whole-body vibration-related disorders.
Talk to our team »Vibration monitoring involves measuring and assessing employee exposure to mechanical vibration during work activities.
Hand-arm vibration (HAV) comes from the use of hand-held power tools and is the cause of significant ill health (painful and disabling disorders of the blood vessels, nerves and joints). Whole-body vibration (WBV) is transmitted through the seat or feet of employees who drive mobile machines, or other work vehicles, over rough and uneven surfaces as a main part of their job. Large shocks and jolts may cause health risks including back-pain.
The purpose is to determine whether exposure levels exceed regulatory thresholds and to identify where control measures are required.
