Hand-Arm Vibration Training Courses and Modules - from Briefings to Full Competency
The INVC is the IOSH approved Hand Arm Vibration training organisation - and the largest provider of HAV competency courses in the UK and Ireland. We run general courses for IOSH and for several other training organisations as well as customised in-house versions for many major companies across a wide range of industries. All courses are run by practicing consultant engineers with many years of experience in the field. This makes our occupational vibration training courses highly practical (with a uniquely non-academic style and content that goes down very well with busy professionals) and therefore very effective. All vibration course material is multi-media with matching course notes.

HAND-ARM VIBRATION TRAINING COURSES
 Hand-Arm Vibration Management Briefing + Regulation Update: 2 - 6 hours
There is no effective PPE for occupational vibration; symptoms are under reported; settlements are high (up to £200,000) and most assessments are inaccurate. This Hand-Arm Vibration training course shows you exactly how to manage the problem, providing delegates with a detailed programme of best practice to minimise both risks and costs.
“Presentation very good, especially short video clips; sharp and to the point.” Robert D'Arcy, Royal Botanic Gardens. |
 Hand-Arm Vibration Risk Assessment Training: Field Measurement of Vibration: 1 day
This can be run as an independent vibration training course or as a follow-up to the management briefing. It provides the practical training needed to acquire practical Hand-Arm vibration measurement and risk assessment skills. It is a practical vibration measurement training workshop covering risk assessment and measurement across a range of typical tools. Hand-arm vibration assessments are substantially more difficult than noise assessments - our experience has shown that a high percentage of the measurements taken across the UK are based on faulty techniques that do not give accurate results - negating their usefulness for risk assessment and management.
This vibration training course also includes risk assessment from sources such as vibration databases.
 Hand-Arm Vibration Competency Course (IOSH): 2 days
The occupational vibration competency course combines the full management briefing with the highly practical workshop covering the calculation of risk, vibration measurement instrumentation and accurate field vibration measurements on a variety of tools. It also covers the use of field vibration information from other hand-arm vibration database sources. IOSH certification is based on successful completion of a written test covering all aspects of the occupational vibration training course. Delegates can attend the briefing and the workshop on separate occasions.
"Very well presented course - explained everything clearly and concisely. Excellent." R. Horton, Aylward Engineering |
 Whole Body Vibration Competency Course (IOSH)
This is an extension to the HAV competency vibration training course that adds the theoretical and practical workshop elements required to become competent in Whole Body Vibration (WBV) measurements and risk assessment.

EDUCATIONAL : MOTIVATIONAL : HAND-ARM VIBRATION TOOLBOX TALKS
 Hand-Arm Vibration Toolbox Talk: 30mins - 1 hour
Graphic illustrations of the effects of vibration on the hands (using supplied props and procedures) to motivate and educate personnel as to the risks of working with vibrating tools. It also details the practical measures they can take to minimise the risks through personal behaviour and actions.
 Hand-Arm Vibration Toolbox Talk : CD-ROM
The short motivational course on hand-arm vibration is also available on CD-ROM. This makes life easier for safety and training professionals by providing material and resources on CD for use in-house. They include multimedia elements and full script documentation. Support is also available as an initial INVC presentation to train trainers. Customised versions can also be generated if required.
 Training the Trainers: Hand-Arm Vibration Training for in-house Trainers - half to 1 day
This is a short vibration training course specifically designed to train in-house personnel to roll-out the toolbox talk (and HAV management briefings if required) across an organisation. It provides companies with a turn-key programme complete with all training materials.
SPECIALISED NOISE AND VIBRATION TRAINING COURSES
Specialised vibration training courses are also available, either in-house or at our premises covering topics such as Product Noise and Vibration Testing, Machine Condition Monitoring, Digital Recording and Analysis, Signal Processing and Analysis ...
