Understanding Hand Arm Vibration Testing

Do I need hand arm vibration testing for my business?

If your employees use any kind of vibrating tools, then the short answer is YES.

Industries that can involve hand-arm vibration:

  • building and maintenance of roads and railways
  • construction
  • estate management (eg maintenance of grounds, parks, water courses, road and rail side verges)
  • forestry
  • foundries
  • heavy engineering
  • mines and quarries
  • motor vehicle manufacture and repair
  • public utilities (eg water, gas, electricity, telecommunications)
  • shipbuilding and repair

For businesses, HAV testing provides the information to implement an effective management process

For employees, HAV testing provides information to ensure you protect your personal health through vibration exposure

What does the law say regarding HAV testing?

By law, as an employer, you must assess and identify measures to eliminate or reduce risks from exposure to hand-arm vibration so that you can protect your employees from risks to their health.

Where the risks are low, the actions you take may be simple and inexpensive, but where the risks are high, you should manage them using a prioritised action plan to control exposure to hand-arm vibration.

Where required, ensure that:

Control measures to reduce vibration are properly applied; and
You provide information, training and health surveillance.

Review what you are doing if anything changes that may affect exposures to vibration where you work.
