Assessment of Occupational Risk of Exposure to Vibrations Based on ‘The Document for Safety to Professional Vibration’

Abstract:

This paper refers to research undertaken in order to substantiate and elaborate ²The document for safety to professional vibration², which constitutes a procedural instrument for highlighting the synthesized estimation process of traceability and professional risk assessment of exposure to this type of emissions. Based on the results of the risk assessment of occupational exposure to vibration, whether exposure action values are exceeded, the employer must establish and implement a program of technical and/ or organizational measures intended to reduce exposure to occupational vibration.
