What is Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) Training?
Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) is a serious and potentially irreversible condition caused by regular exposure to vibration from hand-held power tools and equipment. Without proper controls and awareness, workers can develop long-term health conditions such as Vibration White Finger and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
This HAVS Training course provides delegates with a clear understanding of vibration risks, how exposure occurs and the practical steps required to reduce it. The training focuses on early symptom recognition, safe tool use and good working practices that help prevent long-term injury.
The course is designed to be practical and easy to understand, helping workers apply safer behaviours immediately when using vibrating tools.
