One of the major occupational health issues faced by employers and their employees today is noise and hand arm vibration (HAVS).
This is often a particular problem for the construction, utilities and civil engineering industries. As former site personnel ourselves we understand more than most the very real long term health effects from over exposure to occupational health hazards.
As part of preventative measures noise and HAVS assessments should be conducted to identify the relevant exposure times for personnel. This can assist in preventing future claims for employers, but more importantly, it helps to protect your workforce.
