Hand arm vibration can be a health risk wherever powered hand tools are used for significant lengths of time. Health & Safety Executive Good Practice Controls can help eliminate or reduce these risks, and a vital element of an employer’s duty is to provide health surveillance to those employees who are identified as being at risk. At Health Business we can provide HAVs health surveillance and screening (levels 1-4) for those employees exposed to vibration.

  • Tier 1: An initial assessment before the employee starts work with vibrating tools
  • Tier 2: An annual assessment
  • Tier 3: A comprehensive and detailed questionnaire and range of clinical tests for those displaying the appropriate symptoms and history, carried out by our HAVs qualified Occupational Health Doctor
  • Tier 4: Formal diagnosis made by our HAVs qualified Occupational Health Doctor, reported by the employer under RIDDOR 1995

To book your HAV’s medical assessment call us on 01254 825600.
