Vibration induced medical conditions can occur by working with vibrating tools such as grinders and drills, which cause damage to nerves, blood vessels and joints of the hand, wrist and arm. Workers who use hand-held power tools for prolonged periods are at risk of developing a health condition, particularly Hand-arm Vibration Syndrome.
It is the employer’s responsibility to make sure the risk from exposure to hand-arm vibration is eliminated or reduced and employees at risk are placed under health surveillance.
How we can help
Our qualified consultants will visit your premises and assess whether your employees are exposed to hand arm vibration above the exposure action value of 2.5m/s2 or 5m/s2. We will provide support to help you meet safety regulations and carry out health surveillance on at-risk employees, as well as establishing vibration levels for the tools you use.
We will make sure your business is complying with the relevant safety laws to avoid any preventable medical conditions.

Testimonials

Graduate Health and Safety Engineer

Historically, we have had LEV monitoring done by EEUK, but this was before I joined the company. Since I have been in this role, I have engaged EEUK to do fibre count monitoring on a kiln and we are planning a noise survey too. I have already received the RAMS pack for this job to review prior to the survey which is fabulous, I normally spend a large proportion of time when working with contractors trying to get this information.
EHS Officer

We have been using EEUK since 2017; they have provided us with not only a monitoring service but guidance on what we are required to do as a company. The sales team were really friendly and very efficient with arranging (sometimes at short notice) dates in which to provide their services.
