Production vibration arises from a wide variety of
processes and operations performed in industry,
mining and construction, forestry and agriculture,
and public utilities.
Vibration exposure occurs when the body is exposed
Introduction to pulsation, shaking or tremors usually produced by
a vibrating object such as a power hand tool.
Vibration is often called a vector quantity, which
means that the vibratory motion has both a negative
effect in of itself and a magnitude or intensity
component.
What is
Vibration?
1. Handarm Vibration
2. Whole body Vibration
Handarm Vibration
Work Practice
Administrative control
Training
• Reduction at Source
• Reduction of Transmission
• Process Modification
Reduction at Source
Using mechanical
Substitution of
aids(chunk and
materials ie plastic
clamps to hold
for hand metal
material
Changes in any
aspects of process
Robotics and
to eliminate need
automation
for vibrating tools
or equipment
Work Practice
• Job rotation
• Reduce group Force applied
• Reduced length of working days
• Select low vibration
• Ergonomic work posture
• Design work task and workplace
• Restrict use of Piece work and incentive pay
Administrative
control
• PPE
• Protect against exposure to
coId and trauma
• Reduce transmission of
vibrating energy to the hand
• Training
Training
• Source of vibration
• Adverse health and safety effects
• Early signs and symptoms
• Use and availability of vibration
protective clothing
• Anti-vibration devices
• Value of good to maintenance
Conclusion
Production vibration exposure occurs when the body is exposed
to pulsation, shaking or tremors usually produced by a vibrating
object such as a power hand tool. Vibration exposure is
separated into hand-arm vibration and whole-body vibration.
These two types of vibration
have different sources, affect different areas of the body and
produce different symWhole-body vibration occurs when the
human body is supported on a surface which is vibrating. Hand-
transmitted vibration occurs when the vi-bration enters the body
through the hands,
The prevention of disorders caused by production vibration in the
workplace requires the implementation of engineering control,
administrative control, and work policy.
