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 vibration 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
1 Hand-Arm Vibration Management Briefing + Regulation Update: 2 - 6 hours
There is no effective vibration PPE; symptoms are under reported; settlements are high (up to £200,000) and most assessments are inaccurate. This HAV 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. |
2 Hand-Arm Vibration Competency Course (IOSH): 2 days
The vibration competency course combines the full management briefing with a highly practical workshop covering the calculation of risk, 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 vibration training. Delegates can attend the briefing and workshop on separate occasions.
"Very well presented course - explained everything clearly and concisely. Excellent." R. Horton, Aylward Engineering |
3 Whole Body Vibration Competency Course (IOSH)
This is an extension to the HAV competency training course that adds the theoretical and practical workshop elements required to become competent in WBV measurements and risk assessment.
EDUCATIONAL : MOTIVATIONAL : HAND-ARM VIBRATION TOOLBOX TALKS
4 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.
5 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.
SPECIALISED NOISE AND VIBRATION TRAINING COURSES
Specialised courses are also available, either in-house or at our premises covering topics such as Product Testing, Machine Condition Monitoring, Best Practicable Means and Environmental Noise Specification, Digital Recording and Analysis, Signal Processing and Analysis ... Contact us if you would like to discuss particular training requirements.
