Hand-arm vibration exposure calculator
HSE has made updates to their hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure calculator. HSE’s HAV exposure calculator helps estimate and record workers’ exposures to HAV and compare them with the actions values in the regulations as part of a HAV risk assessment. The revised calculator can be accessed on their website.
The HSE guidance book L140, Hand-arm vibration, has been revised. The new edition has been updated in keeping with changes to related legislation, technical advances and experience. The emphasis is on the control and management of risks from exposure to hand-arm vibration (HAV). HSE’s policy on the control of HAV has not changed. The revised book can be purchased through HSE Books or it is available on their website to be downloaded for free.
