Operator exposure to mechanical shock and Whole Body Vibration may be causing your operators discomfort, and costing your business money. Operator health and comfort can be measured and quantified to determine if the levels of their exposure to shock and vibration is safe or harmful.
Whole body vibration tests provide answers to the following questions:
- Are the operator’s exposure to shock and vibration safe?
- Is operating the machine uncomfortable?
- How long can an operator safely operate this machine?
- What is the safe amount of operating time per day, per year, and over a lifetime?
- What operating actions are causing excessive shock and vibration?
- What operating conditions are causing excessive shock and vibration?
- What changes can be made to operate this machine comfortably?
To help business prepare for this, MachineLife utilizes the ISO Standard to calculate the Whole Body Vibration levels. This methodology assess the impact of shock and vibration experienced by a machinery operator, quantifies their health and comfort when operating, and provides a recommended safe amount of operating time (before experiencing discomfort or adverse health effects).
