Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome Toolbox Talk

by Matthew Oneill, from the Community

Brief your team on Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome with a ready to use toolbox talk form. It explains what HAVS is, who is at risk, common vibrating tools, hazards and symptoms, UK exposure limits EAV and ELV, and employer duties under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005. Includes practical advice on tool choice, maintenance, grip and break schedules, plus an attendance sign off to document training.

Hand Arm Vibration Monitoring Checklist
This hand arm vibration monitoring checklist helps supervisors and operatives log vibrating tools and equipment, capture vibration magnitude, record trigger time, and calculate exposure action values using the HSE calculator. Use it to assess whether exposure is under control, document control measures when limits are exceeded, and improve site safety by reducing the risk of HAVS for workers handling powered tools.

NEP HAVS Assessment Checklist
This HAVS assessment template helps teams identify and control hand arm vibration risks during tasks that involve vibrating tools and equipment. Record exposed workers, list tools and vibration sources, estimate trigger time, and calculate exposure points using a ready reckoner aligned to EAV and ELV thresholds. Plan controls such as time limits, job rotation, training, repairs, or tool replacement to reduce exposure. Capture additional recommendations and document completion with the team leader’s name and signature for compliance and continuous safety improvement.

Hand Arm Vibration Register
Use this hand arm vibration register to record vibration magnitudes for common tools, calculate exposure points by duration, and manage daily HAVS risk. The template includes site details, register validity, and created by fields, plus an operative hand arm vibration log and a tool use register. Enter vibration magnitude in meters per second squared, points per hour, and hours used to generate exposure points and check against the 400 point limit. Ideal for construction teams to track operatives and control exposure.

NEP HAVS Assessment
This NEP HAVS Assessment template helps teams evaluate and control hand arm vibration risks on site. Capture site and assessor details, list workers exposed, and record vibrating tools and trigger times. Calculate exposure points using vibration magnitude and duration to compare against EAV and ELV thresholds. Document control measures such as time limits, job rotation, training, tool repair or replacement, and elimination where possible. Add recommendations and obtain team leader sign off to support compliance and reduce the risk of HAVS.
