Calculating EAV and ELV for HAVS
Hand arm vibration (HAVS) refers to the transmission of vibration into the hands and arms of workers using handheld tools, machinery, and equipment. Prolonged exposure to vibration can lead to serious health issues such as hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Employers are required to assess and manage risks from vibration exposure. Our free Hand Arm Vibration Calculator helps employers estimate daily exposure levels and ensure compliance with legal exposure limits.
