Long term exposure to vibration can be painful. Both whole body and hand arm vibration are caused by power tools and machines which transmit vibration into the human body. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) can cause severe back pain and poor posture, Hand Arm Vibration (HAV) is the cause for vibration white finger. With the rise of regulations to escape costly litigation it is imperative that employers monitor their workforce and machinery in order to protect them. Castle Group's human vibration meters can monitor and help protect, giving accurate measurements and safe using times for tools and machinery.
Regular checks of machinery is important to keep it running correctly. Machines with any kind of vibration from moving parts can fail with costly and drastic consequences so being able to measure any area and maintain when required can cut costs.
Vibration issues in the environment should not be ignored. Damage can be caused to buildings and structures from ground borne vibration. Man made vibrations due to road traffic, industrial machinery, railways and plants can all cause problems and should be checked.
