Exposure to whole-body vibration in open-cast mines in the Barents region
Objectives We aimed to measure and evaluate whole-body vibration (WBV) exposure among drivers of mining vehicles in the Barents region. Study design In the period from November 2012 to August 2014, this cross-sectional study was carried out at 3 mines in Finland, Norway and Sweden as part of the MineHealth project. Methods Measurements of WBV were conducted on the surface of the driver's seat d...
متن کاملWhole Body Vibration Exposure to Crane Operator’s
Whole body vibration (WBV) has been linked to lower back disorders (LBD’s). The purpose of this study is to determine whether crane operators are exposed to whole body vibration (WBV). If exposure exists then, do they exceed a current consensus standard. This information will be used to determine whether WBV should become a larger discussion item when purchasing cranes and or rebuilding. This i...

متن کاملMeasuring whole-body vibration at surface and underground mines
Long term exposure to high amplitude whole-body vibration is strongly associated with the development of back injury. Mobile plant used at mines are likely to be a source of high vibration amplitudes and management of the hazard requires systematic measurement of vibration levels. This paper describes measurements of whole-body vibration taken during projects funded by the Coal Services Health ...
متن کاملExposure to whole body vibration in heavy mine vehicle drivers and its association with upper limbs musculoskeletal disorders
Background: Vibration as one of the harmful physical factors is relatively present in a wide range of jobs. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are among the most prevailing complaints of workers encountering occupational factors for example vibration. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate vibration and its association with the MSDs in upper limbs of heavy mine vehicles drivers. Ma...
