| Operators
are subjected to vibration in the working environment that emanates
from equipment or structures that vibrate. Vibration can be
transmitted to the operators either through the feet during
standing operation or through the seat during sitting operation
on vibrating surfaces. Alternatively, vibration can be transmitted
through the hand due to hand operation of a vibrating tool.
Human vibration is so classified into whole-body vibration (transmitted
from operating surface to feet or seat) and hand-arm vibration
(hand-transmitted vibration).
ERGOTECH is actively involved in measurement,
assessment and research on human vibration typically on commercial
road vehicles, industrial type vehicles such as mining equipment,
and all types of military vehicles and vessels.
