À propos de ce contenu audio

In this episode, Neil Hughes-Hutchings, Senior Health and Safety Consultant at AfterAthena Ltd, explores a significant issue regarding hand-arm vibration risks. An NHS Trust was fined £40,000 after employees were diagnosed with Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) due to prolonged exposure to work equipment vibration. The Trust admitted to breaching Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and paid £4,911 in costs. This case highlights the importance of employers understanding their duties under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations.
