| Abstract |
Directive 2002/44/EC on vibrations (see CIS 02-24) sets minimum requirements for the protection of operators of earthmoving equipment from vibration and requires that employers evaluate the vibration exposure of the operators. The manufacturers of earthmoving equipment are required to supply the necessary data. This summary of Report ISO DTR 25309 of 2006 provides instructions on how to determine the daily vibration exposure on earthmoving equipment such as bulldozers, loaders, dredgers, scrapers and soil compacting equipment. It describes an extensive and a simplified method for calculating the daily vibration exposure. |
