Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) caused by 
exposure to vibration at work is preventable, but once 
the damage is done it is permanent. The European 
Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive 2002/44/EC has 
been enforced since July 2006. Aimed at protecting 
workers from health problems caused by hand-arm 
vibration, it identifi es 2 key measurements:
The daily exposure action value (EAV) A(8)2.5, 
standardised to an 8-hour working period, is 2.5m/s

Exposure limits are calculated as a combination of the 
vibration level (magnitude) of the tool and the Daily 
Exposure Time (Trigger Time). e.g. a product with 5m/s

2

 

vibration can be used up to 2 hours/day to reach the EAV 
and up to 8 hours/day to reach the ELV.

In 2007, 

WALT set itself the challenge of creating the most comprehensive system 

of the safest, highest performing professional construction tools in the world. This is the 
Perform & Protect system, made up of products that meet strict criteria in one or more 

of the following core safety-focused areas: 

Bind-up situations can occur when drilling, 
cutting, or grinding. These sudden torque 
reactions, when the tool body rotates, can be 
potentially hazardous and result in damage to 
the tool or injury to the user. 

With unique systems such as 

CTC for rotary hammers 

and E-clutch for drills and grinders, 

WALT offers 

several products in the 

Perform & Protect system 

that provide extra control in critical bind-up situations 
compared to standard clutches and side handles. 

(5 microns or less)
Can travel deep in to the 
lungs to the Alveola.
Example: Clay dust. 
Asbestos. Respirable 
Crystalline Sylica (RCS).

(10 microns or less)
Can travel in to upper 
respiratory area.
Example: Cement dust. 

(100 microns or less) 
Can travel into mouth and nose.
Example: Fine sand. 
Wood dust. 

Dust inhalation may lead to serious long-term and life threatening diseases, such as asthma, silicosis, Chronic 
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and cancer. The risk of developing these diseases will depend on the 
type of dust you are exposed to, as well as the concentration and exposure time.
