Hand Arm Vibration Labels by Caledonia Signs - Trade Only Supplier
Hand Arm Vibration (HAV) Labels are essential for clearly communicating the risks associated with using vibrating tools and machinery in the workplace. These labels provide immediate visual warnings about the potential dangers of hand-arm vibration exposure, which can lead to serious health conditions like Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and carpal tunnel syndrome. By placing these labels directly on equipment or in relevant work areas, employers can ensure that workers are constantly reminded of the hazards and the need to follow safety precautions.
These labels play a key role in promoting safe working practices by encouraging employees to use protective measures such as anti-vibration gloves, vibration-dampening tools, and limiting exposure time. When workers see HAV labels on equipment, they are more likely to take the necessary steps to minimize risk, such as taking regular breaks or using proper handling techniques. This proactive approach helps reduce the likelihood of long-term injuries, contributing to a healthier and more productive workforce.
In addition to protecting workers’ health, Hand Arm Vibration Labels support compliance with occupational safety regulations. Many regulatory bodies require employers to clearly identify vibration hazards and inform workers of the risks involved. By using these labels, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to meeting legal requirements and maintaining a safe workplace. This can help reduce liability and avoid potential fines related to non-compliance.
Finally, HAV labels contribute to fostering a culture of safety and awareness. Visible, clear labelling helps keep vibration hazards at the forefront of workers’ minds, reinforcing the importance of vigilance and personal responsibility. When safety information is easily accessible and understandable, it encourages employees to take ownership of their wellbeing and supports the overall goal of reducing workplace injuries and enhancing safety standards.

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.
