Whole-body Vibration Exposures in Undeground Coal Mining Operations
Studies conducted on surface coal mining equipment have identified whole-body vibration as a significant hazard. Operators of underground mobile equipment, particularly shuttle cars and transport vehicles, are likely to be exposed to significant levels of whole-body vibration. To date, measuring whole-body vibration from underground mining mobile equipment has been difficult due to the strict g...
متن کاملLong duration measurements of whole-body vibration exposures associated with surface coal mining equipment compared to previous short-duration measurements.
Previous measurements of whole-body vibration associated with earth-moving equipment at surface coal mines have highlighted the significance of the hazard. Considerable variability in measurement amplitudes, even within the same equipment type operated at the same site, has been noted. However, the measurements have previously been undertaken for relatively short durations. Fifty-nine measureme...
متن کاملWhole Body Vibration Exposures in Long-haul Truck Drivers
Many professional truck drivers experience low back pain (LBP) which is believed to be associated with exposure to whole body vibration (WBV). As a part of a randomized controlled trial, this study measured WBV exposures from 98 professional truck drivers continuously during their regular work shift (8-12 hours). The daily weighted average A(8), vibration dose value VDV(8), and vector sum A(8) ...
متن کاملAssessment of Whole-Body Vibration Exposure in Mining Earth-moving Equipment and Other Vehicles Used in Surface Mining.
This study characterized whole-body vibration exposures in a set of vehicles that operate in open-pit mines and compared three different daily exposure parameters based on the ISO 2631-1:1997 and ISO 2631-5:2004 standards. Full-shift, 6 to 12-hour, continuous whole-body vibration measurements were collected from 11 representative types of vehicles in terms of hours of operation and number of ve...
متن کاملArtificial neural network to predict the health risk caused by whole body vibration of mining trucks
Drivers of mining trucks are exposed to whole-body vibrations (WBV) and shocks during the various working cycles. These exposures have an adversely influence on the health, c...
