Hi all

I've been trying to track down some vibration data for some power tools we have but can't seem to find it! Anyone know of a good vibration database at all?

Thanks. Pretty helpful!

If this is not new equipment you may be better of getting the levels actually tested.

Just to add to the responses, I recently carried out a very similar task, collated all vibration data and issued use times based on manufacturers guidelines, this was a new procedure for us so it was better than having nothing whilst we waited to get the actual HAVS survey carried out.

I must advise you not to use the manufacturers guideline, 9 times out of ten, when tested on-site the levels were miles out, all way higher than the manufacturers guide.

One company in particular, I actually called up, we use to "air wrenches" manufactured by a company that sounds similar to graper...they blatantly admitted that they would need to review their ratings due to the issue I raised, basically they were telling me on the specifications that on impact, the air wrench produced less vibration than a power drill (post HAVS tests proved this) It was as if the company in question knew the issue but needed to put "something" on paper.

Get a proper test done and me safe!
