5、ERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Guide for the Measurement and Evaluation of Human Exposure to Vibration Transmitted to the Hand Secretariat Acoustical Society of America Approved 19 May 2006 American National Standards Institute, Inc. Abstract This standard specifies the recommended method for the measurem
6、ent, data analysis, vibration and health risk assessments, and reporting of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration. A standard format is established for measurement, data analysis, vibration and health risk assessments, and reporting of hand-transmitted vibration, periodic or random, in three
7、orthogonal axes, in the frequency range from 5.6 Hz to 1,400 Hz. Three normative annexes provide guidance for vibration and health risk assessments, mitigating health risks, training, and medical surveillance related to hand-transmitted vibration.

9、mittees S1 on Acoustics, S2 on Mechanical Vibration and Shock, S3 on Bioacoustics, and S12 on Noise. These committees have wide representation from the technical community (manufacturers, consumers, trade associations, organizations with a general interest, and government representatives). The stand
10、ards are published by the Acoustical Society of America as American National Standards after approval by their respective Standards Committees and the American National Standards Institute. These standards are developed and published as a public service to provide standards useful to the public, ind
11、ustry, and consumers, and to Federal, State, and local governments. Each of the accredited Standards Committees operating in accordance with procedures approved by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is responsible for developing, voting upon, and maintaining or revising its own Standards.
12、The ASA Standards Secretariat administers Committee organization and activity and provides liaison between the Accredited Standards Committees and ANSI. After the Standards have been produced and adopted by the Accredited Standards Committees and approved as American National Standards by ANSI, the
13、ASA Standards Secretariat arranges for their publication and distribution. An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially concerned with its scope and provisions. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has
14、 been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution. The use of an America
15、n National Standard is completely voluntary. Their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he or she has approved the Standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the Standards. NOTICE: This American Nat
16、ional Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this Standard.

28、ibration Transmitted to the Hand. This standard comprises a part of a group of definitions, standards, and specifications for use in mechanical vibration and shock. It was developed and approved by Accredited Standards Committee S2, Mechanical Vibration and Shock, under its approved operating proced
29、ures. Those procedures have been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The Scope of Accredited Standards Committee S2 is as follows: Standards, specifications, methods of measurement and test, and terminology in the field of mechanical vibration and shock and condition moni
30、toring and diagnostics of machines, including the effects of exposure to mechanical vibration and shock on humans, including those aspects which pertain to biological safety, tolerance, and comfort. This standard is a revision of ANSI S3.34-1986 (R 1997), which has been technically revised. The revi
31、sions incorporated into this standard make the measurement and data analysis procedures of the standard compatible with the corresponding procedures specified in ISO 5349 Part 1 and ISO 5349 Part 2. Vibration and health risks assessment procedures, methods for mitigating the potential for workers de
32、veloping symptoms related to hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), and training and medical surveillance guidelines have been added to this standard. This standard is not comparable to any existing ISO Standard. At the time this Standard was submitted to Accredited Standards Committee S2, Mechanical V

36、 be transmitted from hand-held percussive or vibrating devices, tools, and work pieces to the hands and arms of the user. Such situations occur when a person uses pneumatically, hydraulically, and electrically powered percussive tools (i.e., chipping hammers, needle scalars, impact wrenches, etc.);
37、pneumatically, hydraulically, and electrically powered grinders and sanders; gasoline powered tools (i.e., chain saws, circular saws, edge trimmers, etc.); and pedestal grinders. These vibrations are usually transmitted through the hand to the arm and shoulder. Depending on individual work practices
38、 and work situations, this vibration can be transmitted to one hand only or to both hands simultaneously. Continued habitual use of some types of hand-held vibrating devices, tools, and work pieces has been found under certain circumstances to be associated with patterns of diseases affecting the ha
39、nd and arm. The patterns of various symptoms observed have been called vibration disease, vibration syndrome, vibration white finger (VWF), or Raynauds phenomenon of occupational origin. These disorders have been grouped into a single syndrome referred to as the hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). H
40、and-arm vibration may also cause entrapment syndromes, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as other upper extremity cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs). For the purpose of this standard, hand-transmitted vibration is defined as the mechanical vibration that, when transmitted to the human hand-arm
41、 system, may entail risks to worker health and safety, in particular vascular, bone or joint, neurological, and muscular. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed two international standards: (1) ISO 5349 Part 1 and (2) ISO 5349 Part 2. The appendices in ISO 5349 Part 1
42、 give specific guidance on the health effects related to hand-transmitted vibration, the relationship between vibration exposure and effects on health, factors likely to influence the effects of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration in working conditions, and preventative measures to be adopt
43、ed to reduce the potential for developing symptoms related to HAVS. ISO 5349 Part 2 gives specific guidelines on how to make vibration measurements on hand-held vibrating and percussive tools. The user of this standard is, therefore, directed to these ISO standards for specific guidance in these are
44、as. The Parliament of the European Union has issued the European Union Human Vibration Directive-2002/44/EC. This directive specifies vibration daily exposure action values (DEAV) of 2.5 m/s2and daily exposure limit values (DELV) of 5.0 m/s2that, when achieved, will reduce the potential for users of
45、 hand-held vibrating and percussive devices, tools, and work pieces to develop symptoms related to HAVS. The DEAV and DELV specified in the EU human vibration directive have generally been accepted by medical experts, scientists, and engineers in governmental agencies, research institutions, and ind
46、ustry in the USA and other countries. The guidance provided in this standard and its annexes are intended to assist in reducing the potential for the occurrences of HAVS and other related hand-arm vibration disorders among persons who work with hand-held vibrating and percussive devices, tools and w
47、ork pieces. Many factors affect the potential for an individual to develop symptoms related to HAVS. Because the subjective symptoms and objective clinical findings associated with HAVS are similar to the pathology arising from other causes, it is imperative that a proper differential diagnosis be p
48、erformed on workers who display pathology related to HAVS by a physician with qualifications and experience in differential diagnosis of hand-arm syndromes and diseases.
