HAVS Assessment for East Sussex, covered

If your workforce regularly uses vibrating tools, grinders, breakers or hand-held power tools, HAVS is one of the most common and most preventable occupational injuries you will face. Catching it early, through proper tiered assessment, is what keeps a tingling finger from becoming permanent nerve or vascular damage.

We arrange appointments for HAVS Assessment across East Sussex and the wider South East England area, including Brighton, Hastings, Eastbourne, Lewes. On-site visits for employers can also be arranged for teams based in East Sussex.

Who this is for

  • Employers with staff using vibrating tools, grinders, breakers, sanders or compactors
  • Workers already reporting tingling, numbness or finger blanching
  • New starters needing a HAVS baseline before vibration exposure begins
  • Employers needing a structured tiered HAVS surveillance programme

What's included

Assessment follows the HSE tiered approach: a Tier 1 questionnaire for all exposed workers, stepping up to Tier 2 or Tier 3 clinical examination (including vascular and neurological testing) wherever symptoms or exposure history warrant it. You receive a clear fitness outcome plus practical guidance on exposure limits, tool rotation or further review where needed.

Questions

HAVS Assessment in East Sussex, FAQs.

What is HAVS?
Hand-arm vibration syndrome is a condition caused by regular use of vibrating tools, affecting the nerves, blood vessels and joints of the hand and arm. It is preventable with proper monitoring, but irreversible once established.
What are the HAVS assessment tiers?
Tier 1 is an annual questionnaire for all exposed workers. Tier 2 is a more detailed questionnaire review by a qualified assessor. Tier 3 is a full clinical examination, including vascular and neurological tests, carried out where Tier 1 or 2 flags a concern.
How often does testing need repeating?
Typically annually for workers with ongoing vibration exposure, though this can be more frequent if symptoms are present or exposure is high.
Can you run this across our whole site?
Yes, we deliver tiered HAVS programmes on-site across the UK, scheduled around your shift patterns.
