Posted By garyh Does anyone have a simple guide to the above? I find the "ACOP" a bit complicated. Please, no "clever" replies about it being a complex issue.

Posted By Ron Hunter Have you considered the INVC database?(www.invc.co.uk). This system claims over 1500 measurements of tools IN USE(not manufacturers data). Local HSE have agreed that this is an adequate basis for risk control. (We are about to purchase). Has to be part of overall risk control strategy, including purchase policy and rigorous inspection, maintenance and training regimes.

Posted By clegg The easiest way to put things regarding risk assessments is: a) test all the machines to get a maximum exposure time. b) ensure staff are made aware of the limits. C) put some kind of monitoring of staff in place. Recording usage times, crosss ampling etc. D) ensure staff are informed of the risks. E) Monitor what is happening. I carry out vibration testing for companies, if you require any more help please reply.
