Checks on vibration
December 1st 2007 New regulations now limit
the exposure of employees
to both hand arm and whole
body vibration. The MMFVM30
Human Vibration
Meter meets all the
requirements of the
Standards mentioned in the
HSE Guidance and can be
used for those cases where
measurements are required.
The meter comes with
both a tri-axial pick up for
mounting on hand tools and
a seat pad pick up for whole
body vibration in both the
seating and recumbent
positions.
A direct read-out of the
vibration exposure is
obtained and these may be
downloaded to software
that will calculate the
exposure of each individual
employee as set out in the
Regulations.
The real world vibration
measurements are a
valuable back up to the
'laboratory' results quoted in
equipment data sheets.
The instruments are
available for purchase or
hire from Campbell
Associates. More articles from Campbell Associates Ltd: |
