DIN EN 14253:2008-02 EN 14253:2003+A1:2007 (E) 4 Introduction Occupational exposure to whole-body vibration can, in some circumstances, contribute to

24、 illness. The general requirements for measuring and evaluating whole-body vibration exposure are specified in ISO 2631-1. The aim of this European Standard is to provide practical guidelines to develop an effective strategy for evaluation of whole-body vibration exposure at the workplace. The use o

25、f the strategy described in this European Standard will lead to a realistic picture of the daily exposure of a subject and of the relevant uncertainties. The evaluation of vibration exposure can be broken up into a number of different stages: identifying a series of discrete operations which make up

26、 the subjects working pattern; selection of operations to be evaluated; establishing the r.m.s. acceleration value for each selected operation; evaluation of a typical daily exposure time for each operation identified; calculating the daily vibration exposure. DIN EN 14253:2008-02 EN 14253:2003+A1:2

27、007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard provides guidelines for the measurement and evaluation of whole-body vibration at the workplace. This European Standard describes the precautions to be taken to make representative vibration measurements and to determine the daily exposure time for each opera

28、tion in order to calculate the daily exposure value standardized to an 8 h reference period. This European Standard provides a means to determine the relevant operations that should be taken into account when determining the vibration exposure. This European Standard applies to situations where peop

29、le are exposed to whole-body vibration at the workplace, transmitted through the buttocks for a seated person or through the feet for a standing person. This European Standard is restricted to the evaluation of exposure to whole-body vibration using quantities derived from frequency-weighted root-me

30、an-square acceleration. The frequency range considered is 0,5 Hz to 80 Hz. Where the vibration includes shocks or impacts, methods in this European Standard may underestimate the severity of the exposure. There is a need to assess the risks arising from exposure to whole-body shocks and high crest f

31、actor vibration. Methods for this are beyond the scope of this European Standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

37、 awifor each of the three axes at the supporting surface; the total duration per day Tiof vibration exposure for operation i. The daily vibration exposure Al (8), in m/s2, for each direction l is defined as: =iiwlillTaTkA201)8( (1) where awliis the frequency-weighted r.m.s. value of the acceleration

38、, determined over the time period Tikx= ky= 1,4 for the x- and y-directions; kz= 1 for the z-direction l = x, y, z T0is the reference duration of 8 h (28800 s) NOTE 1 The Physical Agents Directive 2002/44/EC allows an 8-h vibration dose value (VDV) instead of A(8). Where VDV is used, the Al(8) in th

39、is European Standard should be replaced by the daily vibration dose value in the l direction. The use of VDV instead of A(8) will generally result in a different evaluation of the health risk. NOTE 2 The values of klin the x- and y-directions are based on sensitivity of seated persons but the same f

40、actors should be applied for other postures, e.g. standing. NOTE 3 If it can be shown that there is clearly a dominant direction it is sufficient to measure only this direction. The individual contribution of an operation or work cycle i to the daily vibration exposure can be calculated as: 0)8(TTak

41、Aiwlilli= (2) 5 Preparation of the measurement procedure 5.1 General The vibration exposure of an individual during a working day may involve a series of different operations, some of which may be repeated. The vibration exposure may vary greatly from one operation to another, e.g. due to the operat

42、ors behaviour, the use of different machines or differences between the operations, or due to seasonal effects. Before making measurements, it is first necessary to identify the individual operations which are likely to contribute substantially to the overall exposure. The location and nature of eac

43、h operation should be defined accurately and the total duration associated with the individual worker during the single day should be quantified. A survey should be undertaken to establish an “exposure profile”. This will help to determine the likely relative importance of each type of operation in

44、the overall value of A(8), to identify those for which measurements are required, and to assist in the planning of any necessary exposure controls. The daily vibration exposure A(8) may be determined for a specific individual on a specific day. In some situations it may also be useful to calculate A

45、(8) for a notional “typical” days exposure, using carefully selected representative vibration measurements and carefully considered exposure duration values. There is no method for evaluating the DIN EN 14253:2008-02 EN 14253:2003+A1:2007 (E) 7 combined vibration exposure for more than one day. Ther

46、efore, to know what is a typical day when vibration varies from one day to another, it is recommended to evaluate the variability of the daily vibration exposure A(8) over days. However, it is not acceptable to determine A(8) by averaging over several days on which different levels of variation expo

47、sure have occurred. Representative days of measurement shall be selected with care if evaluation concerns the individual risk. In particular, variation in exposure due to equipment used, work condition, or environments, shall be evaluated. 5.2 Exposure profile The exposure profile is used to identif

48、y those operations which contribute to the overall value of A(8) and to define the conditions under which measurements are to be made. It is important to make measurements for all the machines and operations which may give a significant contribution to the daily vibration exposure. For each operatio

49、n identified, the following should be established: the machine being used; a full description of the operation (e.g. for a fork-lift truck: travelling or lifting or idling; for an excavator: digging or travelling; or a combination of these); operation conditions; nature of ground; state and tuning of the seat; the number of times the operation is performed per day; the average duration of the operation; if possible, the nature of the vibration (e.g. continuous, impulsive, shocks, principal direction, source).
