Effects Of Seated Whole Body Vibration Exposure On Cervical
Human body vibration exposure and its measurement. Human exposure to whole body vibrations should be evaluated using the method defined in iso 2631 11997. For health and safety evaluations this is through the buttocks and feet of a seated person or the feet of a standing person. Whole body vibration wbv is a generic term used when vibrations mechanical oscillations of any frequency are transferred to the human bodyhumans are exposed to vibration through a contact surface that is in a mechanical vibrating state. This paper discusses theoretical measurement and exposure guidelines associated with whole body and hand arm vibration experienced in the mining industry. Hand arm vibration causes damage to hands and fingers. In this article instrumentation requirements for evaluation of the responses of humans to vibration according to these criteria are described as well as some of the pitfalls to be avoided during these measurements.
Simplified mechanical system representing the human body standing on a vertically vibrating platform is found in the 20 to 30 hz region and is caused by the head neckshoulder system fig. The risk of vibration induced injury depends on the average daily exposure. Whole body the human bodys sensitivity to vibrations is at its most sensitive within 4 8hz in the longitudinal direction and 1 2hz in the transverse direction. Humans interact on a daily basis with machinery in their everyday working environment. Human body vibration exposure and its measurement. Iso 5349 2 measurement and evaluation of human exposure to hand transmitted vibration practical guidance for measurement at the workspace.
An evaluation of the risk takes into account the intensity and frequency of the vibration the duration years of exposure and the part of the body which receives the vibration energy. Whole body vibration measurement. Whole body vibration is applicable to motions transmitted from workplace machines and vehicles to the human body through a supporting surface. Human body vibration exposure and its measurement. Humans are generally exposed to many different forms of vibration in their daily lives. J acoust soc am 736.
Simplified mechanical system representing the human body standing on a vertically vibrating platform is found in the 20 to 30 hz region and is causedby the head neck shoulder system fig. Experimental data collected over the years for defining limits of vibration exposure to human beings have resulted in a set of vibration criteria specified in iso standard 2631. Vibration exposure is associated with numerous health effects and injury.
