This Hand-Arm Vibration training course looks at raising awareness of this illness, which affects many people throughout the country. People who work with vibrating power tools put themselves at risk to different medical conditions such as Carpel Tunnel or White Finger, which is now known as Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome. These health conditions can be incredibly painful and, in many cases, debilitating to daily life.
Due to this, it is important that awareness of how to protect workers from Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome is incredibly important. Regulations such as, The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 have been put into place to help employers and workers against Hand-Arm Vibration by implementing preventative safety measures.
Even though the avoidance of vibrating power tools is recommended, this can sometimes not be feasible. If these tools must be used, then employers should be knowledgeable on how to limit workers’ exposure to vibrating power tools and how to ensure that they stay healthy and safe.
