Hand Arm Vibration Awareness training is designed to help employees understand the risks associated with using hand-held power tools and equipment that produce vibration. Prolonged exposure to hand-arm vibration can lead to serious health issues, including Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), which can cause nerve damage, circulation problems, and musculoskeletal disorders.

The training will cover the following topics:

1. **Definition of Hand Arm Vibration**: Understanding what hand-arm vibration is and how it occurs during the use of various tools and machinery.

2. **Health Risks**: Recognizing the potential health effects of prolonged exposure to vibration, including symptoms of HAVS and other related conditions.

3. **Legislation and Guidelines**: Overview of relevant regulations and guidelines for vibration exposure limits and employer responsibilities.

4. **Measurement and Monitoring**: Introduction to methods for measuring vibration levels and how to monitor exposure in the workplace.

5. **Preventative Measures**: Strategies to minimize exposure, including the use of anti-vibration tools, rotation of tasks, and personal protective equipment (PPE).

6. **Awareness and Reporting**: Importance of reporting symptoms early and monitoring one's own exposure to vibration.

By completing this training, participants will gain the knowledge necessary to recognize hazards and take appropriate actions to reduce the risk of vibration-related injuries in the workplace.
