Course Overview

Learn how to identify the potential risks of using power tools and similar equipment when you take our HAVS (Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome) Training Course. HAVS is a condition commonly linked to the sustained use of vibrating tools, and many workers may not realise the potential for later physical conditions that this may cause. By taking this training, you will quickly appreciate the causes of HAVS and the similar syndromes that are linked with it. Whilst many workers understand the dangers of constant noise or cramped conditions, constant exposure to vibration is often overlooked. With the content of this course, you will discover the causes and symptoms of HAVS and other syndromes such as “white finger”, “carpal tunnel”, and “musculoskeletal HAVS”. You will also learn how to apply safety protocols in the workplace to prevent this disorder and gain an acute awareness of the UK laws that are designed to protect the workforce from impairments and infirmity.
