NOISE/VIBRATION ASSESSMENTS

Aim:
This course is designed to provide delegates with the skills and knowledge to be able to identify equipment associated with a risk of injury (HAV and WBV), assess the risk of injury and subsequently adopt controls to ensure that work proceeds in a safe manner

Course Content:

At the end of the training session each delegate should be able to:

• Describe the HAV and WBV injuries likely to be caused by particular types of work equipment
• Explain the hazards and other factors which give rise to the potential for injury
• State the procedural and behavioural controls which are designed to avoid or reduce the risks of injury
• Identify the symptoms of exposure to vibration
• Report any detected symptoms (of self and others) to an appropriate person
• Select the most appropriate equipment for the task with a view to minimise vibration exposure
