HAVS Exposure Limits (EAV, ELV And What They Mean)
There are two HAVS exposure limits, and these are legal limits for the amount of vibration you can be in contact with daily. The limits are defined in the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations and are known as the exposure limit value (ELV) and the exposure action value (EAV).

How To Calculate Vibration Exposure To The ELV
The exposure limit value (ELV) under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations is a value you must not exceed. But how do we calculate this limit? Calculating the ELV in real-life situations is not always straight forward, but using a points-based system, you can keep track of exposure levels.

Understanding Your HAVS Trigger Times
HAVS trigger times are how long your hands and arms are exposed to vibration levels. Trigger times can often get overestimated because they are not always fully understood. In this post, we look at what trigger times are and how to measure them when assessing vibration exposure.
