Some tools with a high vibration value, such as impact wrenches, are generally used for a few
seconds at a time, therefore the cumulative time may only be in the order of a few minutes per
day. Nevertheless, the cumulative effect, particularly when added to that of other hand held
power tools that may be used, must always be taken into account when the total daily dose rate is

It should be noted that if a tool is used
under abnormal, or unusual
conditions, then the vibration level
could possibly increase significantly.
Users must always take this into
account and make their own risk
assessment, using the graph as a
All hand held power tools vibrate to some extent, and this vibration is transmitted to the operator
via the handle, or hand used to steady the tool. Vibration from about 2 to 1500 herz is potentially
damaging and is most hazardous in the range from about 5 to 20 herz.
Operators who are regularly exposed to vibration may suffer from Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome
(HAVS), which includes ‘dead hand’, ‘dead finger’, and ‘white finger’. These are painful
conditions and are widespread in industries where vibrating tools are used.
The health risk depends upon the vibration level and the length of time of exposure to it……in
effect, a daily vibration dose.
Tools are tested using specialised equipment, to approximate the vibration level generated under
normal, acceptable operating conditions for the tool in question. For example, a grinder used at
45° on mild steel plate, or a sander on softwood in a horizontal plane etc.
These tests produce a value‘a’, expressed in metres per second per second, which represents the
average vibration level of all tests taken, in three axes where necessary, and a second figure ‘K’,
