Workplace Vibration Assessments

Workplace Vibration Assessments

Ensure the safety and well-being of your employees with comprehensive workplace vibration assessments from Amplitude Acoustics. Exposure to excessive vibration can cause serious health issues, such as Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and Whole-Body Vibration (WBV). Our assessments help you identify, monitor, and reduce vibration risks, ensuring a safe working environment and compliance with legal standards.

What Is Workplace Vibration?

Workplace vibration refers to mechanical oscillations experienced by workers, either through hand-held tools (hand-arm vibration) or machinery and vehicles (whole-body vibration). Without proper control, long-term exposure to these vibrations can lead to irreversible health problems.

Why You Need a Vibration Assessment

According to the Health and Safety Authority (HSA), exposure to vibration can cause:

  • Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) – A painful and disabling condition affecting the nerves, blood vessels, and muscles in the hand and arm.
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – A nerve condition resulting from repetitive use of vibrating tools.
  • Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) – Linked to lower back pain and musculoskeletal disorders, typically from operating heavy machinery or vehicles.

By conducting a workplace vibration assessment, you protect your workforce from these risks and ensure compliance with regulations such as the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work(General Application)Regulations 2007.
