Vibration

We work with you to identify, quantity and mitigate health hazards in your workplace.

Vibration

What is vibration monitoring and why is it necessary?

Exposure to too much vibration (whether it be hand-arm or whole-body) may result in both acute and chronic injuries to the body. These injuries can include conditions such as white finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle joint damage in the hands and arms, lower back pain, varicose veins and heart conditions, bone damage, reproductive system damage, motion sickness and impaired vision and / or balance.

Vibration monitoring is done to ensure that workers are not over-exposed to vibration emitted by vibrating mechanical equipment. In addition, vibration monitoring may help in identifying sources of excessive vibration exposure and determine remedial actions to reduce the exposure risks where necessary.
