2.2 DETERMINING EXPOSURE DURATIONTo assess the daily vibration exposure of workers,we need an estimate of the time machineoperators are exposed to the vibration source.In this chapter we look at what exposure timeinformation is needed and how it can bedetermined.Before the daily vibration exposure (A(8) or VDV)can be estimated, you need to know thetotal daily duration of exposure tothe vibration from the vehicles ormachines used. You should be carefulto use data that is compatible withyour vibration magnitude data, forexample, if your vibration magnitudedata is based on measurements whenthe machine was working, then countonly the time that the worker is exposed to vibration.Machine or vehicle operators questioned on their typicaldaily duration of vibration exposure usually state a valuecontaining periods without vibration exposure, e.g. truckloading and waiting times.Usually, the vibration that occurs when the vehicle istravelling will dominate vibration exposures. However,some exposures are dominated by operations beingperformed while the vehicle is static, such asexcavators and tree harvesters.Work patterns need careful consideration.For example some workers may onlyoperate machines for certain periodsin a day. Typical usage patternsshould be established, as these willbe an important factor in calculatinga person’s likely vibration exposure.exposure.PART II Guide to good practice on Whole-Body Vibration – CHAPTER 2 EVALUATION OF RISKFurther reading:EN 14253, Mechanical vibration — Measurement and calculation of occupational exposure to whole-bodyvibration with reference to health — Practical guidance69
