Bad Vibrations: A new campaign from BSIF
Emily Quick • 2 September 2025
A new campaign focusing on Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) has just launched

Bad Vibrations is a new campaign tackling the widespread confusion surrounding HAVS, produced by BSIF.
Bad Vibrations dives into:
- What HAVS is and where it occurs
- Which tools are most likely to cause it
- Methods to control exposure in the workplace
- How vibration is measured and quantified
- Relevant standards to be aware of
- Helpful links for those wishing to explore specific aspects in more depth
More than 2 million people are at risk of developing HAVS every year due to repetitive use of vibrating tools. With the right precautions taken early, this painful and sometimes irreversible condition can be prevented.
