Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome Services
Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a widespread industrial disease affecting tens of thousands of workers which can cause vibration-induced white finger (VWF). Attacks are painful and can result in the loss of the ability to grip properly. Any vibrating tool or process which causes tingling or numbness after 5-10 minutes is suspect. Where people regularly work for prolonged periods with tools and processes likely to be hazardous, there is likely to be a risk of injury. To combat these risks, Ethos Environmental can advise you on preferential systems that minimise your employees` exposure to HAVS.Most popular related searches

Minimise vibration risks via:
- Monitoring tools to evaluate the magnitude of vibration transmitted to the hands
- Creating management policies to control the risks of vibration exposure
- Creating bespoke databases to monitor personnel who may be at risk from vibration associated injuries
Examples of common tools and processes likely to create hazardous vibration include hand-held portable grinders, chain saws, brush cutters, hand-held or hand-fed circular saws, mowers and strimmers, needle guns and other electric or pneumatic hand operated tools. If your industry regularly uses these tools, we can help you to minimise hand, arm and whole body vibration risk for your employees.
