Vibration: AVT the benchmark in vibration reduction

Vibration is a major topic that the power tool industry are working hard to provide solutions for, even more so since the EU Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive 2002/44/EC came into force. This directive deals with risks from vibration at work and has been implemented in the UK under the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005.

Breaking new ground!
AVT, the benchmark in vibration reduction.
Makita demolition tools are the best in the world. Working with users to solve the problem of vibration, Makita’s AVT products have been designed in close relation to users needs at site level.

What dangers can vibrations pose?
When using a power tool, vibration is produced as a by-product of that process.

Vibration used to be something that was overlooked by employers and employees alike. However, with the effects of vibration being revealed, it was necessary for manufacturers and employers to take a serious stance to protect the workforce. The vibration magnitude is the frequency weighted acceleration value measured in m/s2.

If steps are not taken to limit the amount of vibration a machine produces and the level of exposure an individual receives, then injuries such as Vibration White Finger (VWF) will occur through Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV). This can potentially leave employers open to real issues. In July 2005 the Physical Agents Directive became UN law. The law meant that all power tools had to have their vibration levels measured and that information to be made available to anyone. This information helps towards educating the operator to understand how long they can safely operate a machine.

However, it is not only important to produce a machine which limits or even eliminates any danger to the operator, it is also vital that the operator and contracting companies are educated in the risks and prevention techniques surrounding vibration hazards. Makita provides the right tool for the job whilst making that tool as safe to use as technologically possible. It is vital you equip your workforce with the safest products available. A safe product means a longer operational time thanks to reduced vibration figures. Working with a safer machine makes the operator confident which in turn will enable them to perform to the maximum of their abilities resulting in a superior finish at the end of a task.

Vibration in the workplace is a serious risk that any power tool user should take very seriously.
