Have you tried divining rods,( Copper Dowsing Rods) and yes they do work, we used them when I worked in utilities to locate leaks. They are quite accurate if other water is not about.

I would agree with Messy that you are not making a DRA. All that you are looking at doing is adding to a "generic" assessment to make it site specific. By generic I mean that you have looked at the work and made the assessment prior to any persons being at work.

We used a cherry picker and jet wash. Sent operative on IPAF course and have received loads of work due to the fact that ground workers with IPAF helps with form work installation

then you can use the higher rate, remember that this is the maximum time for all exposure during the day, so if using different tools you have to add all the times and exposure, this is why we use the lower level its easier to manage

You can only use the LEV 5 m/s2 A(8) if your operatives are on a health surveillance program for HAVS. WE always use the lower limit 2.5 m/s2 A(8) and conduct health surveillance this way we know we are below the required action levels.

Have attached the one we use. Hope this helps

And yes if you want it on down loads more than happy for you to use
