Introduction
The
Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 has been designed to
protect workers from injury resulting form exposure to hand-arm
vibration. To manage the risks from hand-arm vibration exposure and
to comply with the regulations you will need to assess, control and
monitor exposures, you will also need to ensure that workers
understand the risks and have any necessary training. If workers
are at risk you will also need a health surveillance programme to
monitor any progression of injury and to provide feedback on the
effectiveness of your exposure controls. This course provides an
overview of hand-arm vibration risks and workplace management.
Who should attend?
