Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005
UK | Active Under Review
The regulations introduce an:
Exposure action value of 2.5 m/s2 A(8) at which level employers should introduce technical and organisational measures to reduce exposure.
Exposure limit value of 5.0 m/s2 A(8) which should not be exceeded.
The regulations also allow a transitional period from the exposure limit value for hand-arm vibration until 2010 to allow work activities, where the use of older tools and machinery cannot keep exposures below the exposure limit value, to continue in certain circumstances .
