ABSTRACT
The UK is required to introduce Regulations on Vibration at Work by 6 July 2005 to implement the Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive (2002/44/EC). This Directive builds on existing general duties on employers to manage health and safety, and introduces exposure action and limit values for both hand-arm vibration and whole-body vibration, thus setting minimum standards for the control of vibration risks in Europe.
