Safety
Hand Arm Vibration (HAV)
Construct Equip Ltd has from January 2008 adopted the new 'Traffic Light System' for Hand Arm Vibration (HAV) levels on all vibration producing equipment.
The system recommended by the Hire Association Europe indicates the vibration risks of prolonged exposure as follows;
Green - HAV below 5m/s2 - Maximum 8 hours per day
Orange - HAV between 5 and 10m/s2 - Maximum 2 hours per day
Red - HAV over 10m/s2 - risk must be assessed before use
The times relate to Maximum daily limits which should not be exceeded.
However, the new 'Traffic Light System' should not be seen as a substitute for a company's own risk assessment
