same standards. These declared values are not ad-
equate for use in risk assessments and values meas-
ured in individual work places may be higher. The
actual exposure values and risk of harm experienced
by an individual user are unique and depend upon
the way the user works, the workpiece and the
workstation design, as well upon the exposure time
and the physical condition of the user.
We,
Atlas Copco Tools AB
, cannot be held liable
for the consequences of using the declared values,
instead of values reflecting the actual exposure, in
an individual risk assessment in a work place situ-
ation over which we have no control.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome
if its use is not adequately managed. An EU guide
to managing hand-arm vibration can be found at ht-
tp://www.humanvibration.com/EU/VIBGUIDE.htm
We recommend a programme of health surveil-
lance to detect early symptoms which may relate to
noise or vibration exposure, so that management
procedures can be modified to help prevent future
impairment.
