Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) assessments
The Centre for Workplace Health
(CWH) at the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) in
Buxton deliver a range of different services to external
customers. We have developed a specialist tertiary referral centre
for investigation of workplace ill health problems.
CWH offer standardised tests and clinical examinations for
the assessment of HAVS. Two different assessments are offered,
one includes standardised testing with a CWH technician and the
second assessment includes a full clinical examination
by our Consultant Occupational Physcian.
Information about health surveillance for workers exposed to
hand arm vibration can be found on the HSE website .
