Manufacturing - Prevention Engineering for HAVS

The severity of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome within manufacturing is poorly recognised, with 35% of RIDDORS originating from the sector.

Grounds Maintenance - Prevention Engineering for HAVS

Due to the type of work undertaken, and the range of tools used, the range of vibrations experienced by Grounds Maintenance workers is expansive.

Motor Vehicle Repair - Prevention Engineering for HAVS

Motor Vehicle Repair has a disproportionately high incidence of workers being diagnosed for Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome. And yet HAVS is preventable if you have adequate insight into what your workers do. This paper examines how proven technology can give you that insight.

Rail - Prevention Engineering for HAVS

Over 90% of occupational health RIDDORs reported to the ORR are for Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), despite the 5-year plan launched in 2014 to eliminate new cases.

Utilities - Prevention Engineering for HAVS

Exposure to vibration in the utilities sector is incredibly difficult to predict and therefore difficult to control through risk assessment alone.

Local Authorities - Prevention Engineering for HAVS

Hand Arm Vibration can be a significant health risk wherever hands are exposed to vibration for prolonged periods of time, and it is a common injury within Local Authority working environments.
