Some of these factors are:
• Awkward positions;
• Handling of heavy goods;
• Life style as overweight or smoking;
• Vibrations;
• Shocks from jumping, hitting obstacles.
Therefore not only the machine but also the driving behaviour / handling / other tasks, prehistory of the
operator and the environment will play a role. In order to evaluate real exposure to vibrations, we
recommend that you perform vibrations measurements in your working conditions.
For more information and possible actions to reduce HAV and WBV, we recommend that you refer to
CEMA -
