HAVS Assessment for Tyne and Wear, 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 Tyne and Wear and the wider North East England area, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, South Shields. On-site visits for employers can also be arranged for teams based in Tyne and Wear.
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.
