Hand arm vibration meter
Casella’s new hand arm vibration meter has been developed to monitor those susceptible to hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS).

This serious condition affects one in ten people working with hand-held, vibrating power tools, such as hammer drills, chainsaws and concrete breakers.
HAVS encompasses a number of conditions including Raynaud’s Disease and White Finger. Without proper workplace precautions and monitoring in place, HAVS can cause irreversible and painful damage to the blood vessels, nerves and joints in the arm, hands and fingers.
For the estimated two million people at risk from hand arm vibration syndrome the meter available from Casella will go a long way in evaluating risk and accurately assessing vibration levels. With just three operational buttons this instrument is easy and quick to use. It tracks the length of time the operator is exposed to the vibration and is able to calculate and display total exposure, in accordance with current legislation.
