Hand/Arm Vibration

Many tools and items of equipment cause vibration, which can then be transmitted into the hands and arms of operatives. Prolonged exposure can lead to permanent health problems, which include a variety of symptoms and conditions but are collectively recognised as Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). In an effort to help employers to meet their legal obligations and to promote the safety and well being of their workers, In Touch has developed a series of mobile vibration monitors that log the time, location and extent of any exposure to vibration.
