The Human Vibration training course covers Hand-Arm Vibration and Whole Body Vibration with a 3 day residential course covering current legislation and standards; practical use of vibration meters and vibration measurement theory.
Who Should Attend
If vibration from hand held power tools or exposure to plant and machinery is an issue or a potential problem in your organisation, then someone should attend this course. Ideal for Health and Safety Professionals, works managers, engineers or simply the responsible person, this course leads to a qualification of "competence" for carrying out Hand Arms and Whole Body Vibration Risk Assessments.
Aims and Objectives
The course is designed to give you a detailed insight into the requirements of Hand Arm and Whole Body Vibration Risk Assessment. The course covers all the current requirements of the HSE as well as an in-depth look at the pending legislation to ensure that you can be classed as 'competent' to carry out such work. The course is a mix of theory and practical exercises to give you all the necessary information and experience that will help you to reduce vibration exposure in the workplace.
- To build and understanding of the principles of vibration
- To understand the effect of vibration on the human body
- To give you a detailed insight into the current proposed legal framework including the European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive
- To look closely at the HSE guidance
- To look in detail at instrumentation issues
- To give you an insight into practical vibration monitoring
- To provide you with hands-on experience
- To create and understanding of vibration control measures
Course Overview
The course consists of 2 modules, which are structured in the following way.
Module 1 Three Day Seminar
The syllabus for Module 1 will include major topics incorporating vibration theory. Hand-Arm and Whole Body Vibration Measurement protocols and parameters, vibration reduction techniques, legislation and standards, instrumentation and measurement. There is also a heavy practical element of the course to familiarise you with the techniques of measurement and the fundamental operation of instruments.
Module 2 Hand-Arm and Whole Body Vibration Risk Assessment Report
This can either be produced using results from measurements taken during Module 1 or can be a project of your choice, which involves the production of a "Hand-Arm Vibration" risk assessment report. This report is the basis of certification for the course and is marked by your tutor. On successful completion a certificate of competence will be issued.
