Hand-Arm Vibration Mitigation: Practical Examples to Measure and Control HAVS Effectively in Metalworking

Exposure to Hand-Arm Vibration (HAVS) remains a serious risk in metalworking operations. This practical webinar combines regulatory guidance with real-world applications to help you confidently measure, manage, reduce and mitigate vibration exposure.

The webinar examines how effective vibration control can boost productivity, highlighting both the efficiency gains and improved price-to-performance benefits. It focuses on innovative abrasives that help reduce exposure without compromising output. Ideal for health & safety professionals, production managers and metalworking specialists seeking practical, actionable insights.

Andrew Hounslea, HM Specialist Inspector of Health and Safety (Noise and Vibration), Health and Safety Executive, will discuss the importance of controlling these risks to reduce exposure from his background as an inspector and using his industry experience.

Theo Simon, 3M Global Abrasives Application Engineer, will then demonstrate how to test for, record, and calculate vibration exposure on tools, ways to mitigate will be discussed using practical shop-floor examples.

There will also be the opportunity to put your questions directly to experts from 3M and the Health and Safety Executive.
