Hand Arm Vibration - Warning Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs - Trade Only Supplier
Hand Arm Vibration Warning Signs play a critical role in protecting workers who use vibrating tools and machinery by clearly alerting them to the risks associated with prolonged exposure to vibration. Regular use of vibrating equipment such as jackhammers, grinders, or chainsaws can lead to Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), a serious condition that affects blood vessels, nerves, muscles, and joints in the hands and arms. By prominently displaying these warning signs in areas where such tools are used, employers help raise awareness and encourage workers to take necessary precautions to prevent injury.
These signs serve as constant reminders for workers to follow safety protocols, such as wearing anti-vibration gloves, taking regular breaks, or using equipment with reduced vibration levels. This proactive approach helps reduce the risk of developing HAVS, which can cause long-term disability and reduce a worker’s ability to perform tasks safely. Early awareness prompted by warning signs can lead to better workplace practices and more frequent health monitoring, ultimately improving overall worker wellbeing.
Hand Arm Vibration Warning Signs also help employers comply with occupational health and safety regulations. Many countries have strict laws regarding vibration exposure limits and require employers to inform and protect their workforce accordingly. By installing clear and visible signage, businesses demonstrate their commitment to legal compliance and the health of their employees, which can reduce liability and promote a safer working environment.
Finally, these warning signs contribute to cultivating a safety-conscious culture within the workplace. When workers see these signs regularly, it reinforces the importance of taking vibration hazards seriously and encourages ongoing vigilance. This heightened awareness helps create an environment where safety is prioritised, accidents are minimised, and employees feel valued and protected in their roles.

Why get safety signs printed by Caledonia Signs?
1. Regulatory Compliance One of the primary reasons to have safety signs professionally printed is to ensure compliance with UK laws. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require that specific safety signs be used in workplaces to prevent accidents and injuries. Caledonia Signs understand these requirements and ensure your signs meet legal standards, including adherence to the BS EN ISO 7010 format for safety symbols. Adhering to the BS EN ISO 7010 format is crucial because it ensures safety signs are universally recognised and understood. The standard uses clearly defined symbols that have been tested for visibility and comprehension, making them effective even in high-stress situations or for individuals who do not speak the local language.
