Employers have a responsibility to provide health surveillance for all their employees who, despite actions to control the risk, are likely to be regularly exposed above the exposure action value or are considered to be at risk for any other reason. The Health and Safety Executive Guidance (HSG88) recommends a preventative approach to
control the risk of injury. Our team of experienced professionals are here to ensure that on-site testing runs smoothly, at the convenience of your workers and you to provide expert results.
HAVS surveillance takes approximately 20 minutes and includes:
A confidential questionnaire
History of vibration exposure
Hand examination
Counselling
Referral to a specialist medical consultant if necessary
A record sheet for managers which will satisfy HSE requirements
