A one-day, in-company course on hand-arm vibration: the ill-health it causes, where it comes from, the legal exposure limits, and how to measure and control it.
Hand-arm vibration training gives delegates an overview of hand-arm vibration syndrome: the ill-health effects, the sources, the legal exposure limits, and how exposure is measured, assessed and controlled. KeyOstas delivers it as a one-day in-company course.
It is for the people who manage hand-arm vibration risk in the workplace.
By the end of the day, every delegate will be able to do the following.
Describe the acute and chronic physiological effects of exposure to hand-arm vibration.
Recognise the symptoms of hand-arm vibration syndrome, including vibration white finger.
Identify the potential sources of vibration in their own operations.
Explain the legal framework and the exposure action and limit values.
Explain the principles of vibration measurement and assessment.
Evaluate and interpret vibration measurements against the exposure values.
Suggest suitable engineering, procedural and behavioural controls to reduce risk.
Describe the health surveillance requirements for exposure to vibration.
One focused day on hand-arm vibration and how to control it.
Discussion-led and applied, with no written exam.
A KeyOstas tutor delivers the day at your premises, and your own tools and processes can be used.
Understanding is built and checked through discussion and worked examples rather than an exam.
Every delegate receives a KeyOstas certificate of attendance on completion.
