LEARN MORE The HSE has launched a control campaign to address vibration and its associated health risks in three priority industry sectors: foundries, heavy steel fabrication and construction. The inspection campaign follows new legislation changing employers' statutory duties in relation to workplace vibration.

One way to discover more about hand arm vibration is to attend a HAVs Responsible Person training course. The HSE recommends appointing a responsible person to help communicate to employees how the screening programme works and symptoms to look our for.

Lynn Moore, operations manager for Livis, attended a course run by Express Medical. She says "We would certainly recommend the course to anyone who may be involved in producing HAVs documentation, risk assessments, or purely out of interest. Overall the experience has provided us with a sound knowledge of HAVs." For course dates and venues, please contact the company.
