HAND/ARM VIBRATION


Sponsored by Pulsar Instruments


WE HAV VIBRATION COVERED


Overexposure to vibration from power tools, machinery and vehicles can impact the human body in several ways and cause permanent damage such as hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS); a painful, disabling and irreversible condition affecting blood vessels, nerves and joints which over time can significantly affect people’s lives and ability to carry out every-day tasks.


Pulsar Instruments, established in 1969, is trusted for providing accurate noise measurement instruments to health and safety professionals worldwide. For 50 years we have helped thousands of companies safeguard their workers’ hearing by providing meters that measure noise levels accurately. In the same way, we are now helping to protect workers from HAVS and companies from HAVS injury claims.
