The Institute of Acoustics Underwater Acoustics Group, in conjunction with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), is organising a conference on 'Sonar Transducers and Numerical Modelling'
The meeting will be of interest to all Health and Safety Professionals, insurers and members of the legal profession.
Speakers from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the insurance industry will give their view of the implications of the regulations for employers and industry.
Having set the scene speakers from industry and the Health and Safety Laboratory will then concentrate on practical aspects of hand-arm and whole-body vibration exposure; including measurement, control and health surveillance.
There will also be an opportunity to hear about the role of measurement in the assessment of WBV exposure and the assessment of other ergonomic factors associated with back pain, as well as whole body vibration in vehicles and the control of whole body vibration exposure.
The Health and Safety Laboratory, the UK's largest health and safety research and test laboratory will be hosting the seminar.
The laboratory has contributed to the preparation of the new regulations and the HSE guidance.
Those attending will have the opportunity to tour the noise and vibration test facilities.
