Industrial Mastery Pathway
HAVS Advanced: Vibration Risk Management and Compliance
Tier 2
Operational Overview
Vibrating tools are part of daily working life across construction, industrial maintenance and manufacturing throughout the UK. Used without proper control, they cause permanent, irreversible damage to the nerves, blood vessels and joints in the hands and arms.
This course gives you the knowledge to identify vibration risk, meet your duties under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005, and apply real controls before damage occurs. It is the mandatory foundation for every industry-specific HAVS course that follows it.
