The HSE have quoted that millions of workers are exposed to vibration in the workplace. Regular exposure to hand arm vibration can cause a range of health effects known as Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). Whole – body vibration affects the lower back, spine and even the neck and shoulders. Hand arm vibration occurs from using vibrating hand tools and whole body vibration from driving vehicles over uneven surfaces or standing on vibrating platforms. Both of these conditions can lead to forced absenteeism, reduced productivity and litigation.
