| Abstract |
The ordinance on the protection of workers against noise and vibration hazards came into force in Germany on 6 March 2007. It requires employers to identify and evaluate the hazards due to vibrations at the place of work and where appropriate, to take the required prevention measures and implement medical supervision measures for their employees. This article summarizes the requirements imposed on employers by this ordinance and includes guidance for evaluating hazards and exposures to vibrations.
