Description

Risk Assessment for Vibration:

1. Through our buying policy we shall ensure that consideration is given to the purchase of work equipment that produces less vibration by requesting information from suppliers on equipment that have anti-vibration mounts added;
2. Work equipment shall be well maintained to reduce vibration produced;
3. Operatives shall be instructed to inspect equipment before use and report faults to the Site Supervisor;
4. Tools shall be used with keen blades (as appropriate) to reduce the vibration produced;
5. Practical systems of work shall be implemented where possible, that prevent the requirement for working methods that produce vibration. Where possible mechanical means shall be selected;
