| Â The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 are designed to protect workers from injury resulting from exposure to hand-arm vibration (HAV). To manage the risks from HAV exposure and to comply with the regulations, organisations need to assess, control and monitor exposures. They also need to ensure that their workers understand the risks and have any necessary training. If workers are at risk, organisations must provide suitable health surveillance to monitor any progression of injury and to provide feedback on the effectiveness of their exposure controls. This course provides an overview of the duties required under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 and practical guidance on how to control and manage HAV risks in the workplace. Delegates will be provided with information that will help them to: - recognise, assess, and manage the risks from HAV in the workplace;
- understand their duties under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005;
- know what is required for a HAV risk assessment;
- understand the hierarchy of HAV controls; and
- understand the role of health surveillanceâ in the prevention and monitoring of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS).
