| Abstract |
Whole-body mechanical vibration transmitted to machine operators was measured in the vicinity of 75 machines of 15 different types. Vibration levels in some cases exceeded the danger level (0.63m/s2). This happened in the case of crusher and forging hammer operators, whose controls are attached to the machines, near certain types of floor-mounted mechanical presses, and on the platforms of hot bituminous mix spreading machines. It would be advisable to apply anti-vibration measures to most of the machines studied, if this has not been done already, by suspending the machine itself, by carefully uncoupling it from the operator's platform or by isolating the control cabin from the vibrating parts. Particular attention is paid to the design of vibration isolation and to the information workers should be supplied with. |
