Supply project events
Working together to reduce hand-arm vibration exposure
Outcomes from the HSE lead Intermediaries event held at Birmingham City Football Club on 16 October 2008
On 16 October 2008 HSE hosted an event at Birmingham City Football Club attended by 40 organisations representing employers, suppliers and occupational health professionals with the aim of improving the way service providers and employers work together to manage risks from hand-arm vibration.
HSE had 3 objectives:
- 1. To set out its view of the role those in the supply chain can play in helping employers manage the risk from hand-arm vibration.
- 2. To report its findings of inspections of suppliers and audit of health surveillance providers (for HAVS).
- 3. To facilitate enhancing the mutual understanding of their respective hand-arm vibration issues between manufacturers, suppliers, occupational health service providers, vibration specialist health & safety advisors and employers.
The workshops at the event proved to be very productive and the participants kindly agreed to our publishing the findings of the day and sharing some of the questions and answers to the issues that were raised:
