Vibration Measurement and Actions

The vibration directive places the responsibility for compliance on employers.

Actions that should be followed by employers include:

• Assess the levels of vibration exposure.

• Determine from this assessment if operators will be exposed to vibration

levels above the limits stated in the directive.

• Take appropriate actions to reduce operator’s exposure to vibration.

• Provide operators with information and training to reduce their exposure

to vibration.

• Keep good records and update operations and training on a regular basis.

If the assessment concludes that vibration level exposure is too high, one or more

of the following actions may be necessary:

1. Train operators

• Perform operations (accelerating, steering, braking, etc.) in a smooth

manner.

• Adjust the controls, mirrors and seat suspension for comfortable

operation.

• Travel across the smoothest parts of the work site and avoid ruts and

potholes.

2. Choose proper equipment for the job

• Use machines with the proper power and capacity.

• Select machines with good suspension seats.

• Look for controls that are easy to use.

• Ensure good visibility from the operator’s position.

3. Maintain the work site

• Smooth ruts and fill potholes in traffic areas whenever possible.

• Clean up debris frequently.

• Vary traffic patterns to avoid exposure to rough terrain.

4. Maintain the equipment

• Ensure correct tire pressures.

• Check that seat suspension and all controls work smoothly and properly.
