5. Health & Safety Awareness | Professional Services 2012 5 www.hilti.co.uk Basics of Hand-Arm Vibration  All vibration monitoring systems offer transparency to exposure to hand-arm vibration with relation to EAV and ELV Exposure Action Value (EAV: 2.5 m/s 2 ): All tools have a Vibration Magnitude, which is measured in m/s 2 and must be monitored on a daily basis by an employer. The level that can be worked to without any health surveillance in place. A tool with a vibration magnitude of 2.5m/s2 or below can be used for an 8 hour day without any risk Exposure Limit Value (ELV: 5.0 m/s 2 ): The absolute maximum level allowed, below this, but above EAV, additional controls such as health surveillance must be in place Most handheld power tools transmit vibration to the hands and arms. Over exposure to vibration can result in Hand- Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). Each year, HAV accounts for approximately 3,000 new claims for Industrial Injury Disability Benefit, the greatest number being in the construction industry. This has led to an incremental increase in insurance premiums.

6. Health & Safety Awareness | Professional Services 2012 6 www.hilti.co.uk  Just because it doesn’t shake, it doesn’t mean that it won’t work  Let the tool do the work  Hold tool in a stance which allows good balance  Hold tool below shoulder level where possible  Restrict the contact pressure to a level where the tool function most effectively  Always grip both handles and restrict grip force just sufficient to hold tool securely Reducing the Risk of HAVS: Tool Handling – Drilling and Breaking
