Hey all.
So, we're looking at HAVs for our grinder/power tool operators....obviously all power tools come with the vibration levels from the manufacturer, is this enough to go on or should you monitor the tool at a prescribed period to ensure the vibration level is still accurate?
I'm not so fussed about the actual monitoring of our people, I have that covered, just wanting some advice regarding the tool monitoring.
I find it may be going a bit above ALARP to get each tool vibration monitored every 6 months or whatever. I may be wrong. Thoughts please.

Hi mate
I suppose it would depend on the tool usage?
Daily use for for 4hrs a day?
Weekly Usage 2 days a week?
Monthly Usage?
Feedback from the folk using it may help you come to a decision on the servicing too.
I personally have all ours done Annually and we have usage weekly about 2 days a week. We also have a large pool to choose from therefor putting less stress on the tool.
Don't know if that's any use bud, but hopefully it is.
Cheers
Will
