Assessment of Whole Body Vibration among Forklift
The use of forklifts to move material is very common in large manufacturing companies. Exposure to whole body vibration from industrial vehicles such as forklifts has been associated with low back pain and also with the degeneration of intervertebral disc. Predicted health risks, associated with the operation of forklifts, based on ISO 2631-1 criteria are limited and have not yet been determine...

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) ...
