HOW CAN YOU MEASURE VIBRATION?
A complete assessment of exposure to vibration requires the measurement of vibration acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s2). Vibration exposure direction is also important and is measured in defined directions. Vibration frequencies and duration of exposure are also determined. How hard a person grips a tool affects the amount of vibrational energy entering the hands; therefore, hand-grip force is another important factor in the exposure assessment. The amount of exposure is determined by measuring acceleration in the units of m/s2. Acceleration is often used as a measure of vibration exposure for the […]This content is for BHHC Safety Center policy holders.
