Prolonged exposure to vibration owing to use of hand-held machinery can have debilitating long-term effects.
Whenever you use hand-held powered work equipment, vibration can affect your hands and arms. Prolonged exposure to vibration can cause permanent changes to nerves, blood vessels, muscles and joints and can lead to hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), which can be severely disabling.
To support IMCA Members to tackle this issue and discuss with their colleagues, we have produced an associated pocket card. We have also included design artwork which allows it to be customised with company logos and references. As well as being available online to stream, our videos are also available to Members to download. Login with your IMCA account to access the content.
