Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS)

HAVS Surveillance for Workplace Safety

Protect your workforce from Hand‑Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) — a serious condition caused by prolonged exposure to vibration from hand‑held power tools. Under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005, HAVS surveillance is a legal requirement for employees at risk.

Why it matters:
HAVS symptoms such as tingling, numbness, reduced grip strength, and “vibration white finger” are often irreversible. Early detection prevents long‑term disability and ensures compliance.

How HAVS Surveillance Works

  • Confidential questionnaire on exposure and symptoms
  • Clinical assessment of hands and arms for early signs of damage
  • Recommendations for risk reduction (e.g., low‑vibration tools, reduced trigger time, rest breaks)
  • Quick, discreet, and minimally disruptive

Who Needs HAVS Surveillance?

  • Construction workers (jackhammers, breakers, sanders)
  • Road and utility workers
  • Groundskeepers and forestry staff (chainsaws, strimmers, hedge trimmers)
  • Miners and quarry workers
  • Manufacturing and engineering operatives
