Vibration guidance

The HSE is asking unions to distribute new leaflets and pocket-sized guidance on the forthcoming vibration regulations to members.

The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations will come into force on 6 July 2005, and cover both hand-arm and whole body vibration. Both the leaflets and the guidance include sections on consulting safety reps.
