There are three requirements for all Employers within EU who have vibration-exposed workplace environments.

1. Regular risk assessments.
2. Preventive measure programme for workplaces with a daily exposure above 2.5 m/s².
3. Medical health surveillance of personnel who have vibration-related disorders or have a daily vibration exposure above 2.5 m/s².

An employer that includes the above requirements in their workplace environment policy can minimize the work required by an inspection notice from the local supervising Authority.

A good way to get started is to do a screening examination of relevant employee groups. Such an inquiry can easily be implemented using the VibroSense Meter system, which rapidly identify persons who are at risk of developing vibration damages.

Ask your Occupational Healthcare to carry out appropriate investigations in the next routine check or request a special screening of vibration exposed workers.

All items 1-3 above shall be documented in writing. Preferably, in a format suitable for direct reporting to the local supervising Authority, for example at an inspection notice.
