Description

Many workers are exposed to vibration daily while using vibrating equipment or machinery. Workers operating hand-held equipment, such as chain saw or jackhammer, are exposed to hand-arm vibration. Workers sitting or standing on a vibrating floor or seat are exposed to whole-body vibration because the vibration affects almost their entire body. The risk of injury from exposure to either type of vibration depends on the intensity and frequency of the vibration, the duration of exposure (usually measured in years) and the part(s) of the body affected.
