Vibration Monitoring

Vibration as it affects workers’ health is broadly classified into two categories: hand-arm vibration and whole-body vibration. Hand-arm vibration occurs when vibration from tools and machines is transmitted into workers’ hands and arm and can result in permanent damage if workers regularly and frequently use hand-held power tools and machines. Whole body vibration on the other hand occurs when vibration passes through your body from a surface you are sitting or standing on.

We have a range of advance measurement technologies to accurately measure and quantify vibration in line with AS and ISO standards.

-Identifying workers who are at risk of developing hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) or whole-body vibration disease (WBVD)

-Identifying equipment that is in poor condition and in need of maintenance or replacement

-Identifying trends in vibration levels over time, which can indicate a developing problem

-Providing a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of vibration control measures
