Protect Your Team. Stay Compliant. Improve Workshop Safety.
At IHSQE Examinations, we deliver on-site Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) testing for businesses operating in high-risk environments—including commercial vehicle workshops, logistics centres, and industrial service bays.
Our goal is simple: to help you identify vibration risks, ensure tool compliance, and meet your legal obligations under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005, Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER), and Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER).
What We Test
Our experienced examiners visit your site to test a range of commonly used vibrating tools, including:
Grinders
Drills
Impact Wrenches
Ratchets
Any hand-held or hand-guided vibrating equipment
We assess real-world usage to provide accurate vibration exposure levels based on daily use. All testing is carried out using calibrated, industry-standard measuring equipment.
What You’ll Receive
After testing, you’ll get a comprehensive compliance pack that includes:
Detailed reports on vibration exposure per tool
Action values vs exposure limits (EAV/ELV)
Maintenance recommendations
Risk reduction advice
Support for your HAVS risk assessment
Evidence for DVSA audits, insurance, and RIDDOR compliance
Why HAVS Testing Matters
