HAVS Advanced: Vibration Risk Management and Compliance — Federal Annex
Tier 2
Operational Overview
You have completed the foundation course covering hand-arm vibration risk management across Canada. This short annex confirms exactly how that foundation applies if you work in a federally regulated workplace, covering industries such as interprovincial transportation, banking, and telecommunications.
The federal system has no hand-arm vibration-specific numeric standard at all. The duty here rests on a general obligation to protect employee health and safety, enforced by the Labour Program at Employment and Social Development Canada.

Instructional Objectives
- Identify the Canada Labour Code, Part II, and the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations as the governing framework for federally regulated workplaces.
- Understand why no hand-arm vibration-specific numeric provision exists at the federal level, and what fills that gap.
- Apply the ACGIH TLV as the practical working reference in a federally regulated workplace, understanding its advisory status here.
- Recognize what the Labour Program actually expects to see when assessing whether a federally regulated employer has met its general duty for this hazard.
