HEALTH & SAFETY

Working at Height

HEALTH & SAFETY

Falls from height are the most common cause of fatal injury and the second mostcommon cause of major injury to employees. The Work at Height Regulations cameinto force in 2005. Their purpose is to reduce the number of accidents associatedwith working at height. The new regulations require detailed risk assessments to becarried out for anyone working at heights. Experience shows that these events usuallyarise due to poor management control rather than because of equipment failure.• Failure to recognise a problem.• Failure to ensure that a suitable and sufficient risk assessment has been completed.• Failure to ensure the safe systems of work are followed.• Failure to provide safe systems of work.• Inadequate information, instruction, training or supervision provided.• Failure to use appropriate equipment.• Failure to provide safe plant/equipment.We offer an extensive range of the latest products that will enable hirers to carry outtheir duties with reduced risks to themselves and to others.

NoiseExposure to noise can cause temporary orpermanent hearing damage.Damage can involve loss of hearingability and people may also suffer apermanent sensation of noise or ringingin the ears, known as ‘tinnitus’. Hearingloss caused by exposure to noise at workcontinues to be a significant occupationaldisease.We acknowledge that noise represents asignificant safety risk to equipment operators.Under The Control of Noise at WorkRegulations (2005) it is a requirementthat a noise assessment be made by acompetent person when the noise createdin a working environment exceeds80dB(A). We strongly recommend that

every possible effort is made to reducenoise exposure in the workplace. Thelevel at which employers must providehearing protection is 85dB(A).We are constantly striving to ensure thatthe equipment we supply you, the customer,incorporates the latest noise reductiontechnology. In each section of thisbrochure you will find (where applicable)manufacturers’ information relating tonoise emissions.One essential method of controlling thepotentially harmful effects of noise is toensure that all employees working in oraround a noisy environment are issuedwith and use the correct PersonalProtective Equipment.

DustDust is created in one form or anotherwhen most power tools are used.Continued exposure to dust can, over aperiod of time result in respiratory problems, eye infections and irritation tothe skin.Providing operators use the correctPersonal Protective Equipment such as goggles, appropriate respiratory

protection, gloves and protective suits,exposure risks are greatly reduced.

In addition to this we strongly recommend the use of dust extraction/suppression equipment which willcombat the problems relating to potentially harmful particles that mightbe present in the atmosphere.

Charles Wilson Engineers Ltd is committed to ensuring that the equipment we supply our customers is supplied in a safe and well maintained condition.Every item of equipment is serviced and maintained in accordance with the requirements of the Provision and Use of WorkEquipment Regulations 1998 (P. U.W.E.R) and the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (L.O.L.E.R).

Should you require it, our Training Department can assist you in ensuring that your workforce is correctly trained to operatevarious types of work equipment in a safe manner. Please see our Training section of this catalogue for further details.

NOTE: All of the vibration figures listedare manufacturers’. It is the hirer’sresponsibility to identify those whoare at risk and to act accordingly.

REDUCING THE RISKThere are ways to reduce the risk from vibration:

Keep warm and wear protective glovesTake short breaks to exercise your handsDo not grip the tool too tightly - the tighter the grip the greater the vibrationOnly use tools that are serviced regularlyAvoid the use of blunt points, chisels or drill bitsRead and follow the safety instructions supplied with the machineSee if there is an alternative tool available with a reduced vibration level

Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) is vibration that is transmitted into the hands and arms of an operator when they are using hand held powered work equipment. Regular and frequent exposure to hand arm vibration can cause a range of conditions collectively known as Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), as well as specific diseases such as the nerve disorder, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.At Charles Wilson Engineers we are committed to supplying the latest equipment that has been designed to reduce the effects of vibration on the operator. The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 requires employers to take specific action when the daily vibration exposure reaches a certain ‘action value’.In order to simplify the process of identifying and assessing employees at risk,you will find detailed information relating to the vibration output of each applicable machine.Each tool, where relevant, will be labelled to clearly indicate the vibration risk of that item to the operator.

As indicated by thefollowing symbol

The labelling system for each piece of equipmentbreaks the risk areas down into three colour coded'traffic light' levels according to the vibration levelproduced.

Vibration Exposure Table

Medium/High Likely to be above limit value.

High Covers high vibration equipment where the EAV and the ELVwill be reached after a short duration of use.

Medium Covers medium vibration equipment, where the EAV andthe ELV will be reached after a relatively short duration of use.

Low Covers low vibration equipment, some of which can be usedfor up to 8 hours in a working day before the EAV is reached.

Medium/Low Likely to be above action value

Note:EAV (Exposure Action Value) - The EAV is the daily amount of vibrationexposure above which employers are required to take action to controlexposure. For hand-arm vibration the EAV is a daily exposure of 2.5m/s2 (over an average 8 hour working day) or 100 points.

ELV (Exposure Limit Value) – The ELV is the maximum amount ofvibration an employee should be exposed to on any single day. Forhand-arm vibration the ELV is a daily exposure of 5 m/s2 (over an average8 hour working day) or 400 points.

The Vibration Exposure Table can be used to calculate daily vibrationexposures. All you need is the vibration magnitude (level) and exposuretime. The table covers a range of vibration magnitudes up to 40 m/s2and a range of exposure times up to 10 hours.Where different types of equipment are being used in a working day,exposure points can be added together in order to assess the overalldaily exposure to vibration.

Using the Vibration Exposure Table1. Find the vibration magnitude (level) for the tool or process (or the nearest value) on the scale on the left hand side of the table.

2. Find the daily exposure time (or the nearest value) on the scale across the bottom of the table.

3. Find the value in the table that lines up with the magnitude and time.

4. Compare the points value with the Exposure Action Values (EAV)and Exposure Limit Values (ELV) - 100 and 400 points respectively.The colour of the square containing the exposure points value tells you whether the exposure exceeds, or is likely to exceed, the EAV or the ELV.

These acoustic curtains measure 1250mm x 2050mm and can be used on 3.6m fencepanels, in groups of three. However, theyalso have the versatility to be used onpedestrian gates as well as smaller barriers.The curtains have a high noise-blocking performance and are ideal for use in areaswhere a greater reduction in noise isrequired. In addition to this, many contractors prefer to use the curtains for easier handling.

The doseBadge is a personal noise dosemeter system that helpsto measure and subsequently limit an individual’s personal noiseexposure. The doseBadge itself has no controls or cables whichmeans that the unit can be used in situations where the wearer isworking in confined spaces or where there is a risk of a cablebeing caught in machinery. Measurements are downloaded fromthe doseBadge to a Reader via an infra-red link which removesthe need for keys or controls on the instrument. Each doseBadgecontains a rechargeable battery which powers the unit throughoutthe measurement period. The battery contains sufficient power tocarry out a single measurement for over 20 hours.

DANGER - DUST - A KILLERAll dust on construction sites is a health hazard in the long term.

Our equipment is Application Class H as standard.

However, there are some types of dust that are hazardousin the short term too. By taking action, companies areable to seriously minimise the levels of dust in theworkplace via methods of dust suppression,source extraction, and air cleaners equipped witha HEPA filter to prevent the spread of even thefinest dust particles. Sweeping simply stirs the hazardous dust into the air, subjectingthose to further harmful exposure. In order toprotect ourselves against these risks, sourceextraction and cleaning using approved dustextractors are absolutely vital in order tocreate a safer, cleaner working environmentand, subsequently, a better end result for business.

Benefits of Dust Control:

• Minimises airborne dust creating major health and safety advantages• No waiting time for dust to clear resulting in increased productivity• Massive reduction in clean-up time and expense• Greater customer satisfaction and minimum interruption• Ease of use and increased life of power tools and equipment
