HAVS Testing and Assessment in Coalville

Professional HAVS Testing in Coalville

Hand-arm vibration syndrome is permanent, entirely preventable and one of the most common causes of long-term occupational ill-health in industry. If your employees regularly use grinders, sanders, breakers, needle guns or similar tools, you need to know their exposure and put controls around it. We assess exposure and help you build a programme that works.

Based in Coalville, Leicestershire, Integral Safety is ideally positioned to serve businesses in Coalville. Choosing a local consultancy means an assessment carried out while your people are doing the actual work, with a consultant who can return easily to review it.

Around Coalville the highest hand-arm vibration exposures tend to sit with quarry and aggregates operations, construction and demolition contractors, and the engineering and fabrication firms on the local estates. Breakers, grinders, and drills used for extended periods are all well capable of exceeding the exposure limit value in a single shift.

Small trade firms are the ones most likely to have no assessment at all, usually because nobody has ever asked. That changes the moment they work for a principal contractor who does ask, and it changes very awkwardly if a former employee makes a claim years later.

Coalville and the wider North West Leicestershire district have shifted from coal to distribution. The town sits at the junction of the A42, A511 and M1, which has made it one of the busiest logistics locations in the country, and Bardon Hill quarry remains a major industrial presence. Alongside that sit engineering firms, builders merchants, manufacturers and a substantial trade and construction sector.
