Are WBV assessments expensive?

While WBV assessments do involve some initial investment in equipment, labor, and potential software, they are not necessarily prohibitively expensive. In fact, they can be seen as a valuable investment that leads to long-term savings through improved health and safety, reduced injury rates, higher employee satisfaction and retention, and compliance with regulations. When considering the potential costs of legal claims, sick days, and employee turnover, the benefits of WBV assessments often outweigh the costs, especially for businesses that have workers regularly exposed to vibration hazards.
